An ultrasonic sound is sent from a ship ...

An ultrasonic sound is sent from a ship towards the bottom of the sea. This sound is received after 2 s. If the velocity of sound in water is 1400 m `s^(-1)`, calculate the depth of the sea at the place.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Distance travelled, s = 2d = ?
We have, s = vt
2d = vt
d=1400 m
