उत्तर
The closest cliff produces the first echo. However, the first cliff, or cliff A, is only 10 meters away from the Lata, and a minimum of 17 meters is required between the cliff and the listener in order to hear an echo.
Then, echo will be heard from Cliff B
∴ Total distance travelled = 2d
= 2 × 160
= 320 m
Time = `(2d)/v`
= `320/320`
= 1 sec.
Hence, the first echo will be heard after 1 second.
