i) What is an echo?
ii) State two conditions for an echo to take place?
i) Echo is the sound heard after reflection from a distant obstacle after the original sound has stopped.
ii) Conditions for an echo to take place are:
a) Minimum distance between the source of the sound and the reflector in air must be 17 m.
b) As compared to the wavelength of the sound wave, size of the reflector must be large enough for an echo to take place.
