The sound source of a ship s sonar system operates at a frequency of 22.0 kHz. The speed of sound in water (assumed to be at a uniform 20°C) is 1482 m/s.
(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. |
