Sonar is a device that uses reflected sound waves to measure underwater depths. If a sonar signal has a frequency of 288 Hz and

the speed of sound in water is 1.45 x 103 m/s, what is the wavelength of the sonar signal?
0.20 m

0.01 m

5.03 m

Answer:

5.03 m

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is given by

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

For the sonar signal in this problem,

f=288 Hz

v=1.45\cdot 10^3 m/s

Substituting into the equation, we find the wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{1.45\cdot 10^3 m/s}{288 Hz}=5.03 m

Which of the following statements most accurately differentiates potential and kinetic energy? A. Any object that has no motion
Aleks [24]

Answer:

B. Any object that has motion has potential energy, wow any object not in motion light with the potential to do work and kinetic.

Explanation:

Potential Energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors. Kinetic Energy is energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.

Q011) The Doppler effect a. occurs when the frequency of sound waves received is lower if the wave source is moving toward you t
inn [45]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

The apparent change in the frequency of light due to the relative motion between the source and the observer is called Doppler's effect.

When the source is moving towards the observer which is at rest, the apparent frequency increases and if the observer is moving away the frequency of sound decreases.

It occurs for both light and sound.  

So, to explain the blue shift of light in the universe is due to the Doppler's effect of light.
