The kinetic energy with which the hammer strikes the ground
is exactly the potential energy it had at the height from which it fell.
Potential energy is (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .... directly proportional
to height.
Starting from double the height, it starts with double the potential
energy, and it reaches the bottom with double the kinetic energy.
The time for the echo to return is directly proportional to the distance. vw = fλ. In a given medium under fixed conditions, vw is constant, so that there is a relationship between f and λ; the higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength.
