A sound made on the surface of a lake takes 3 s to reach a boatman.
How much time will it take to reach a diver inside the water at the same depth ?
Velocity of sound in air = `330 ms^(-1)`
Velocity of sound in water = `1450 ms^(-1)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the distance from the source of sound to the boatman. The sound takes 3 seconds to reach the boatman, and the velocity of sound in air is given as 330 m/s. Using the formula: \[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \] ...
