A man hears his echo from a nearby hill 2s after he shouted. If the frequency of his voice is 260Hz and the wavelength is 1.29m, how far away is the hill?
A
330.0m
B
335.4m
C
660.0m
D
670.8m
correct option: b
v = \(\lambda\)F

260 x 1.29 =335.4ms-1

Echo time = \(\frac{2}{2}\) = 1sec.

distance = v x t

= 335.4 x 1 = 335.4m
