A mobile phone tower transmits a wave signal of frequency 900 MHz. Calculate the length of the wave transmitted from the mobile phone tower .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Frequency , f = 900 MHz = `900 xx 10^(6)` Hz
The speed of wave is `c = 3 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1)`
`lambda = (v)/(f) = (3 xx 10^(8))/(900 xx 10^(6)) = 0.33` m

A ship in a sea sends SONAR waves straight down into the seawater from the bottom of the ship. The signal reflects from the deep bottom bed rock and returns to the ship after 3.5 s. After the ship moves to 100 Km it sends another signal which returns back after 2s. Calculate the depth of the sea in each case and also compute the difference in height between two cases.
