This can't be right.
I missed this test question here.
You shout at a cliff and hear the echo in 4s. the temp is 0 degrees C. How far away is the cliff?
I think the answers were a)662 b) 680 c) 1320 d)1760
I chose c because
t=d/s or d=t*s
now, i substitued d = 4s * 331m/s = 1324
why did i miss this? I am pretty sure the formula and math is
right?
also one more question
when you double your distance from a sound source radiating in all directoins. what happens to the intensity of the sound? is reduces to 1/2 its orginal value.
Thats what i said unless its 1/4. what is the right answer.
