Question

Sound waves travel faster in liquids than in gases. Underwater, a 60 Hz sonar signal travels 9.6 in 400 .

Calculate the wavelength of the signal.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Wavelength (λ) = Speed of Sound (v) / Frequency (f)

λ = 9.6 in/400 Hz = 0.024 in

Therefore, the wavelength of the 60 Hz sonar signal travelling underwater is 0.024 in.
