Procedure:
\n\n
\n\t
Measure the distance '' between the source of sound pulse and the reflecting surface using a measuring tape.
\n\t
The receiver is also placed adjacent to the source. A sound pulse is emitted by the source.
\n\t
The stop watch is used to note the time gap between the instant at which the sound pulse is sent and received. Note the time as ''.
\n\t
Repeat the process three to four times. The average time taken for the given number of pulses is calculated.
