State the use of echo by a bat, dolphin and fisherman.
How do bats avoid obstacles in their way, when in flight?

Waves produced on the surface of the water are formed to move with a velocity of 24 ms−1. If the wavelength of these waves equals 20 cm. find the
(i) frequency (no. of waves produced per second)
(ii) the time period (i.e. the time required to produce one wave) for these waves.
(i) A man stands at a distance of 68 m from a cliff and fires a gun. After what time interval will he hear the echo, if the speed of sound in air is 340 ms−1?
(ii) If the man had been standing at a distance of 12 m from the cliff would he have heard a clear echo?
Write short notes on reflection of sound waves from plane and curved surfaces.
