Question

A depth sounding vessel surveys the ocean bottom with ultrasonic sound that travels 1523 m/s in seawater. How deep is the water, if the time delay of the echo from the ocean floor is 6.2 s? The time delay is the time it takes the sound to travel from the sound source to the ocean floor and back to the source.

          A depth sounding vessel surveys the ocean bottom with ultrasonic
sound that travels 1523 m/s in seawater. How deep is the water, if
the time delay of the echo from the ocean floor is 6.2 s? The time
delay is the time it takes the sound to travel from the sound
source to the ocean floor and back to the source.

Step 1

This can be represented by the equation: \(2 \times \text{depth} = 1523 \, \text{m/s} \times 6.2 \, \text{s}\). Show more…
