1. The sound heard after reflection from a rigid obstacle (such as a cliff, a hillside, wall of building, edge of a forest etc.) is called an echo. 

An echo is heard only if the distance between the person producing the sound and the rigid obstacle is long enough to allow the reflected sound to reach the person atleast 0.1 second after the original sound is heard. 

2. Sound ranging and echo depth sounding. Echos are also . used by geologists for mineral prospecting.
