· i) a) From among the following identify the conditions that are incorrect to hear a distinct by humans
I. The minimum distance required to bear an echo will depend upon the speed of souhd.
6J
2. The greater the amplitude the more distinct will be the echo.
3· The wavelength of sound should be greater than the size of the obstacle.
4. Ultrasonic waves cannot undergo reflection and so cannot produce an echo.
