A bat emits ultrasonic sound of frequency 1000 kHz in air. If this sound meets a water surface, what is the wavelength of (a) the reflected sound, (b) the transmitted sound? Speed of sound in air is 340 and in water 1486 .
Solution:
Here, ; speed of sound in air, ; speed of sound in water, (a) The reflected sound : After reflection, the ultrasonic sound continues to travelin air. If is wavelength in air, then (b) The transmitted sound : The transmitted ultrasonic sound travels in water. If is wavelength of ultrasonic sound in water, then
