Echo
 

Echo problem 13


A boy stands from a wall. He claps and when he hears the echo, he immediately claps again. He continues this for some time. Another student has a stop-watch. She starts the watch on the first clap and stops it on the eleventh clap. The watch reads 10.0s. Which value do her measurements give for the speed of sound in air?
