A bat emits ultrasonic sound of frequency 1000 kHz in air. If the sound meets a water surface, what is the wavelength of (i) the reflected sound, (ii) the transmitted sound ? Speed of sound in air is 340 `ms^(-1)` and in water `1486 ms^(-1)`.

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the wavelength of the reflected sound and the transmitted sound when a bat emits ultrasonic sound that meets a water surface. We will use the formula for wavelength, which is given by: \[ \lambda = \frac{V}{\mu} \] where: - \(\lambda\) is the wavelength, ...
