Given :
A SONAR used in a ship sends ultrasound waves and receives the echo after 2.0 s.
To Find :
The depth of the shoal of fish if the speed of sound in water is 1250 m/s.
Solution :
Let, the depth of the shoal fish is d.
Now, it is given that it takes 2.0 s to receive the echo.
Also, distance covered by echo is 2d.
Now, 2d = s × t
2d = 1250 m/s × 2 s
d = 1250 m
Therefore, the depth of the shoal of fish is 1250 m.
