The diagram shows an ultrasonic wavestransmitted from a boat to the seabed todetermine the depth, D, of the sea. Thespeed of the ultrasonic waves in water is1 500 m s ‘.The echo of the waves is received2.0 s after the transmission.What is the value of D?A 375mB 750mC 1500mD 3000mE 6000mans:CDiscussion:
The depth of sea water can be calculated using the formula :
2D =
v
x
t
thus D= (1500 x 2)/ 2
Q2: SPM2003/P1
Ahmad shouts in front of a high wall. He hears the echo of his voice 1.2 secondslater.The velocity of sound in air is 340 m/s.What is the distance between Ahmad andthe wall?A 204mB 283mC 340mU 408mE 816mans:ADiscussion:.. like in 2004 almost similar pattern of question came out in 2003. U can apply the same formula
2D =
v
x
t
( D=distance, v=velocity, t=total time).
Q3: SPM2006/P1
Again..the same pattern came out in 2006
