    Answer:

        (a) There are three characteristics of sound waves such as (i) Loudness                       (ii) Pitch (iii) Quality or timbre                      (b) Time taken by an echo to be heard, t = 3 s Speed of sound, Total distance, 2d = v x t = 342 x 3 == 1026 m Distance of the reflecting surface from the source, (c) SONAR is a technique used for detecting and finding the distance, direction and speed of objects under water using ultrasonic waves. The acronym SONAR stands for Sound Navigation And Ranging.
