/*
——-calculation———–
speed of sound = 340.29 m/sec.
Here the total distance travelled by sound = sum of
distance from sensor to object and object to sensor.
But both are same . so we need only one distance.
then speed become 170.15 m/sec.
converts m/sec to cm/microseconds.
then (170*100)/1000000 = 0.01715cm/us.
from above equation time taken to
travel distance 1CM= 1/0.01715cm = 58.3us.
