An ultrasonic wave is sent from a ship towards the bottom of the sea. It is found that the time interval between the .transmission and reception of the wave is 1.6 seconds. What is the depth of the sea, if the velocity of sound in the seawater is `1400 ms^(-1)` ?
Time interval between sending and receiving of the wave, t = 1.6 s
Velocity of sound in sea wave, `V = 1400 ms^(-1)`
To find : Depth of the sea, d = ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`2d = V xx t`
`:.` depth of the sea, `d= (1400 xx 1.6)/2`
`= 2240/2 = 1120m`
