4.1 The technology known as Radar is used to determine distances to various objects by measuring the round- trip time for an echo from the object. 4.1.1 Calculate the distance between a satellite and Earth if the round-trip echo time is 300 ms. 4.1.2 Calculate the echo time for a lighthouse that is 150 m away from a Naval ship.
