Question

Sound from a speaker undergoes an echo to reach the source back from a mountain located at a distance of 340 m from the source. The total time taken by the sound to cover this distance is 2 s. The speed of sound is ___ m/s.

  1. 340
  2. 200
  3. 400
  4. 150

hintHint:

Distance= speed × time.

The correct answer is: 340


    • Distance of the mountain from the source = 340m.
    • Total distance after an echo will be (340+340)m = 680m
    • Total time taken = 2sec.
    • Formula: distance = speed × time.
    • Therefore, 680 = speed × 2.
    • Speed = 680/2 
    • Therefore, speed = 340m/s
    • So, the correct option is a.

    After echo, the total distance travelled = 2d
