Open in App
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
of
atleast
0
.
1
s
is
required
between
them
.
Expression
for
minimum
distance
to
hear
echo
:
d
=
vt

[
Speed
of
sound
in
air
,
v
=
330
m
/
s
]
=
17
.
5
m
Hence
,
the
minimum
distance
to
hear
an
echo
is
equal
to
17
.
5
m
