Question

Team JKExamLibrary · Accepted Answer

Time for to-and-fro: t = 2d/v ≥ 0.1 s ⇒ d ≥ vt/2 = 340×0.1/2 = 17 m. Minimum distance for brain to distinguish echo from original sound. Memory tip: 'd_min = v×persistence/2'. Application of sound reflection with human perception limit, common in competitive exam numericals.
