Question
A) You are in Switzerland and decide to try yodeling. You are facing a cliff some distance away. If the speed of sound is 340 m/a and you hear the echo 1.5 seconds after you begin to yodel, how far away is the cliff? The sound travels to the cliff and back during the 1.5 seconds.
B) If your yodel is at frequency 600 Hz, what is the wavelength of the sound?
