Sonar is used to locate objects underwater by measuring the time it takes an ultrasound sound pulse to reflect back to the recei

ver. An oceanic depth-sounding vessel surveys the ocean bottom with ultrasonic sound that travels 1530 m/s in seawater. Find the depth of the water if the time delay of the echo to the ocean floor and back is 8 seconds.

Answer:

The floor of the ocean is 6120 m deep.

Explanation:

In order to find the depth of the ocean we need to use the speed of the ultrasonic sound 1530 m/s and the time it takes for the echo to comeback. Since the wave is transmitted by the vessel goes to the bottom of the ocean and comeback, it travels the distance between the vessel and the floor two times, so we can divide the time by two. We then have:

D = V*t/2 = 1530*8/2 = 1530*4 = 6120 m

How does flowing water change the earths surface
Art [367]
Deposition occurs when gravity's downward pull on sediment is greater than the push of flowing water<span> or wind. Rivers and streams erode soil, rock, and sediment. Sediment is tiny grains of broken-down rock.</span>

Glass absorbs ultraviolet (UV) rays from the Sun. Would a fraction of the incident UV light be reflected from the air/glass boun
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Any transparent surface in practical is neither a perfect absorber of electromagnetic waves neither a perfect reflector. Generally all the transparent surfaces reflect some amount of irradiation and the other parts are absorbed and transmitted.

<u>That is given by as relation:</u>

\alpha+\rho+\tau=1

where:

\alpha= absorptivity which is defined as the ratio of the absorbed radiation to the total irradiation

\rho= reflectivity is defined as the ratio of reflected radiation to the total irradiation

\tau= transmittivity is defined as the ratio of total transmitted radiation to the total irradiation
