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

mart [117]

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:

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

What can you say about the speed of light in diamond?

Inessa05 [86]

So n=c/v, n= index, c=speed of light and v= speed of light in diamond. 2.42=c/v so v=c/2.42, c≈3x108 m/sec so v=1.24x108 m/sec.
Hope this helps.
