To solve the problem of finding the frequency of sound reflected by the enemy submarine, we will use the Doppler effect formula. The steps are as follows: ### Step 1: Convert the speed of the enemy submarine from km/h to m/s The speed of the enemy submarine is given as 360 km/h. We need to convert this speed into meters per second (m/s) using the conversion factor \(1 \text{ km/h} = \frac{1}{3.6} \text{ m/s}\). \[ \text{Speed of enemy submarine (V)} = 360 \text{ km/h} \times \frac{1 \text{ m/s}}{3.6 \text{ km/h}} = 100 \text{ m/s} \] ...
