A SONAR (sound navigation and ranging) uses ultrasonic waves to detect and locate object under water. In a submarine equaipped with as SONAR, the time delay between genration of a probe wave and the recption of its echo after refection from an enemy submarine is found to be 77.0 s. What is the distance of the enemy submarine ? (speed of sound in water = 1450 ms^(-1)

A sonar device on a submarine sends out a signal and receives an echo 5 s later. Calculate the speed of sound in water if the distance of the object from the submarine is 3625 m ,

A ship at rest is sending ultrasonic sound waves to detect a shoal of fish. If the time gap between the signal sent from the ship and received (reflected) signal is 0.5 s, then find the distance of the shoal of fish form the ship. (Velocity of sound in water is 1400 ms^(-1) )

In a submarine fitted with a SONAR, the time between the genretaion of an ultrasonicwave and the reciept of its echo is 200 s. What is the dsistance of the enemy sun=bmrine ? The speed of the sound in water is 1.450 km s^(-1)

An echo is returned in 3 s . What is the distance of the reflecting surface from the source, given that the speed of sound is 342 m//s .

Two submarines are approaching each other in a calm sea. The first submarine travels at a speed of 36 km h^-1 and the other at 54 km h^-1 relative to the water. The first submarine sends a sound signal (sound waves in water are also called sonar) at a frequency of 2000 Hz. (a) At what frequency is this signal received by the second submarine ? (b) The signal is reflected from the second submarine. At what frequency is this signal received by the first submarine. Take the speed of the sound wave in water to be 1500 m s^-1 .
