Speed of Sound and Echo

Sound needs a medium โ€” cannot travel in vacuum. Speed in air โ‰ˆ 343 m/s at 25ยฐC. Speed in water โ‰ˆ 1500 m/s. Speed in steel โ‰ˆ 5000 m/s. Echo: reflection of sound from a hard surface. Minimum distance for echo = 17.15 m (so reflected sound arrives after 0.1s). SONAR uses echo to find depth of ocean or detect submarines.
