Question 18

During a cave survey, a sound transmitter and detector are placed together. A pulse reflected from a rock column returns to the detector after 0.030 s. The back wall of the cave is 5.1 m farther from the detector than the rock column. Sound travels at 340 m/s. How long after the pulse is transmitted does the echo from the back wall return?
