Problem 1. Two stationary submarines communicate using sound waves of wavelength 1. They are both at
depth h = below the ocean surface and separated by a horizontal distance d (d>). Sub 1 sends a sonar
signal to sub 2. Sub 2 receives a superposition of the signal that travels directly to it and a reflection from the
ocean surface (assume no phase shift upon reflection)
a) If the interfering signals produce an intensity minimum, show that the distance between the subs is
d=(15/4)1.
b) Starting with the separation distance equal to that found in a), sub 1 moves to the left and stops when sub 2
first reports a maximum intensity for the interfering signals. How far did sub 1 move?
h=1
