Concept explainers
The time taken by a sonar pulse to travel 3km.
Answer to Problem 25R
The required time is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Speed of sound in seawater,
Formula used:
The expression for distance of travel of sonar pulse is
Here, v is the speed of the sonar pulse, λ is the distance of travel and t is the time taken.
Calculation:
The distance traveled by sonar sound is related with the speed and the time taken to travel that distance.
Substitute
Conclusion:
Hence, the required time is
