Answer
(a) Ultrasonic Waves.
(b) The closest cliff produces the first echo. However, the first cliff, or cliff A, is only 10 meters away from the Lata, and a minimum of 17 meters is required between the cliff and the listener in order to hear an echo.
Then, echo will be heard from Cliff B
Given,
Speed of sound in air (v) = 320 ms-1
Distance of Lata from cliff B (d) = 160 m
Total distance travelled = 2d = 2 × 160 = 320 m
Time = = 1 sec.
Hence, the first echo will be heard after 1 second.
