Expert Answer:
Speed of sound = 342m/s
Echo returns in time, t =3s
Distance travelled by sound ,= v x t
= 342 x 3
=1026 m
As the sound has to travel twice the distance from the source to and the reflecting surface during an echo.
:. Distance of the reflecting surface from the source
= 1026/2 =513 m
:. Distance of the reflecting surface from the source
