9th Class Science Sound Question Bank Sound

  • question_answer
    An object is \[11\,\,km\] below the sea level. A research vessel sends down a sonar signal to confirm its depth. How long will it take for the echo to reach the vessel? [Take the speed of sound in sea water as\[1,520\,\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]).

    A) \[15.30\,\,s\]                  

    B) \[14.47\,\,s\]  

    C) \[12.20\,\,s\]      

    D)        \[11.13\,\,s\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The total distance travelled by the sonar beam is\[11\times 2=22\,\,km\]. The speed of the wave is \[T=\frac{\lambda }{\upsilon }=\frac{22\times {{10}^{3}}m}{1520\,\,m\,\,{{s}^{-1}}}=14.47\,\,s\]
