Dolphins make sounds in air and water. what is the ratio of the wavelength of a sound in air to its wavelength in seawater if the speed of sound in water at that specific location is 1540 m/s and the air temperature is 20.00°c?

ratio of air to sea water is 49 / 220 = 0.22272

Explanation:

given data

speed of sound in water = 1540 m/s

air temperature = 20°C

to find out

ratio of wavelength of sound in air to seawater

solution

we know here that speed of sound is different in air and water so wavelength will also be different and velocity of sound is equal to produce wavelength and frequency in medium and

we know that speed of sound air at 20°C =  approx 343 m/s

and

speed = frequency  × wavelength 1

so

for air wavelength = 343 / f

for water wavelength = 1540 / f

so ratio of air to sea water = (343 / f )   / ( 1540 /f )

ratio of air to sea water = 343 / 1540

ratio of air to sea water is 49 / 220 = 0.22272

the answer would be   dignified - apex

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this
