Answer:

3 s.

Explanation:

Echo is defined as the repetition of a sound produced by the reflection of sound waves from an obstructing surface like a wall, mountain etc.

v = f*lambda

Where,

Lambda = wavelength of the wave

f = frequency of the wave = 1/t

v = velocity of the wave.

Distance there and back = initial ditance * 2

= 525 x 2

= 1050.

Time taken, t = lamda/velocity

= 1050 / 350

= 3 s.

So the delay is 3 seconds.

How do you think electricity was discovered
sasho [114]
Italian physicist Alessandro Volta discovered that particular chemical reactions could produce electricity, and in 1800 he constructed the voltaic pile (an early electric battery) that produced a steady electric current, and so he was the first person to create a steady flow of electrical charge.
