A submarine emits a sonar pulse, which returns from an underwater cliff in 1.02s.If the speed of sound in salt water is 1531 m/s , how far away is the cliff ?

Answer»



Solution :Time TAKEN by the sonar pulse to return `t=1.02s`.
speed of sound in SALT WATER, `v=1531m//s`
Distance of the CLIFF from the submarine
`=` speed of Sound `xx` Time taken.
Distance of the cliff from the submarine
`=1.02xx1531=1561.62m`
Distance travelled by the sonarpulse during its TRANSMISSION and reception in water `=2xx` Actual distance `=` 2d, Actual distance d `=` Distance of the cliff from the submarine /2
`=1561//2=780.31m`
