The sound source of a ship's sonar system operates at a frequency of 18.0 kHzkHz . The speed of sound in water (assumed to be at a uniform 20∘C)∘C) is 1482 m/sm/s. The ship is at rest in the water.

(a) What is the wavelength of the waves emitted by the source?
(b) What is the difference in frequency between the directly radiated waves and the waves reflected from a whale traveling directly toward the ship at 4.95 m/s? The ship is at rest in the water.

Explanation:

a ) wave length of waves in water

= velocity / frequency

= 1482 / (18 x 1000)

= .0823 m

= 8.23 cm

b ) Applying Doppler's effect relation

frequency of reflected wave

= 18000 [ 1482 / (1482 - 4.95 ) ]

= 18000 x 1.003385

= 18061

Difference in frequency= 61 Hz

hi there if you are asking for conformation that wavelingth is the correct answer is wrong it is the answer is frequency. : )

i hope this you out, have a wonderful day

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
