Speed of sound in water is 1500 ms^-1, depth of water when reflected sound waves are detected after 0.40 s is?
Answer: 600 m
Explanation
When the speed of sound in water is 1500 meters per second and the reflected sound waves are detected after 0.40 seconds, the depth of water can be calculated as follows:
- depth = speed x time / 2
- depth = 1500 x 0.40 / 2
- depth = 600 meters
