A ship sends out a 1200 Hz sound wave, which has a wavelength of 1.2 m in the water. It reflects off the ocean floor and returns to the ship in a total time of 5 seconds. How deep is the ocean at this location?

Respuesta :

EdwinRyder

speed =frequency ×wavelength

1200×1.2=1440m/s

s=2d/t

1440=2d/5

2d=7200

d=3600m

The distance of the ocean at this location should be considered as the 3600 m.

Calculation of the distance:

Since we know that

speed =frequency ×wavelength

So,

1200×1.2=1440m/s

Also we can say that

s=2d/t

So,

1440=2d/5

2d=7200

d=3600m

hence, The distance of the ocean at this location should be considered as the 3600 m.
