Answer:
Distance covered by the sound in air is 800 meter and the time taken by the sound in water for the same distance is 0.5 seconds.
Explanation:
Given:
Speed of sound in air = 320 m/s
Speed of sound in water = 1600 m/s
Time taken to reach certain distance in air = 2.5 sec
a.
We have to find the distance traveled by sound in air.
Distance = Product of speed and time.
⇒
⇒
⇒ meters.
b.
Now we have to find how much time the sound will take to travel in water.
⇒ Time = Ratio of distance and speed
⇒
⇒ <em> ...distance = 800 m and speed = 1600 m/s</em>
⇒
⇒ seconds.
Distance covered by the sound in air is 800 meter and the time taken by the sound in water for the same distance is 0.5 seconds.
