Solution

Persistence of hearing:It is the time interval for which the effect of a sound is lasts in human ear. Its value is equal to 0.1 s.To distinguish between, original sound and echo, there must be a time gap ofatleast 0.1 s is required between them.Expression for minimum distance to hear echo:d=vt2 =330 ×0.12 [ Speed of sound in air, v = 330 m/s] =17.5 mHence, the minimum distance to hear an echo is equal to 17.5 m.
