Detailed Solution

The distance of the reflecting surface from the source if the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s is 510 m.
Given,
Time taken by the echo of sound to hear, = 3 s
Speed of sound in air, = 340 m/s
So, to find the distance of the reflecting surface from the source, the following equation is used
Distance, = Speed2 × t
On substituting the values, we get
d= 3402×3 = 510 m So, the distance of reflecting surface from the source is 510 m.
