Ответ:
Distance covered by the sound in air is 800 meter and the time taken by the sound in water for the same distance is 0.5 seconds.
Explanation:
Given:
Speed of sound in air = 320 m/s
Speed of sound in water = 1600 m/s
Time taken to reach certain distance in air = 2.5 sec
a.
We have to find the distance traveled by sound in air.
Distance = Product of speed and time.
⇒![Distance = Speed\times time\ taken](/tpl/images/0611/1404/56e67.png)
⇒![Distance = 320\times 2.5](/tpl/images/0611/1404/b60dd.png)
⇒
meters.
b.
Now we have to find how much time the sound will take to travel in water.
⇒ Time = Ratio of distance and speed
⇒![Time =\frac{distance}{speed}](/tpl/images/0611/1404/5a06c.png)
⇒
...distance = 800 m and speed = 1600 m/s
⇒![Time =\frac{1}{2}](/tpl/images/0611/1404/679fb.png)
⇒
seconds.
Distance covered by the sound in air is 800 meter and the time taken by the sound in water for the same distance is 0.5 seconds.
