An echo is heard after 2 seconds from a cliff. If speed of sound is 340 m/s, distance of cliff is
A. 340 m
B. 680 m
C. 170 m
D. 510 m
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Sound travels to cliff and back. Total distance = speed × time = 340 × 2 = 680 m. So distance to cliff = 680/2 = 340 m. Use formula d = (v × t)/2. Time for round trip. Minimum distance for echo 17 m (approx) for 0.1 s persistence.

Explanation:
Endoscopes consist of bundles of flexible optical fibers. Light introduced at one end is trapped inside the fiber core because it repeatedly strikes the boundary at an angle greater than the critical angle. This Total Internal Reflection allows light and visual images to be transmitted through complex, curving paths inside the body.
Explanation:
Boiling occurs when vapour pressure equals atmospheric pressure. At high altitude, atmospheric pressure is lower, so water boils at lower temperature. Pressure cooker increases pressure to raise boiling point for faster cooking.
