Question text
17 The depth of the sea under a ship is determined by sending a pulse of sound with a frequency of 3000 Hz from a transmitter on the bottom of the ship to the seabed. The sound reflects from the seabed and returns to a receiver on the bottom of the ship. The time between sending the pulse and receiving the reflected pulse is measured. sea transmitter and receiver depth seabed The depth of the sea beneath the ship is 600 m and the time measured is 0.80 s. What is the wavelength of this sound in the sea? A 0.25 m B 0.32 m C 0.50 m D 2.0 m
