Give an example of how to calculate ocean depth​

Sagot :

Answer:

with the help of ecolocation process like most using sound wave for example ultrasound is used to calculate ocean depth it has high frequency

Explanation:

a fathometer device is used .let the downward distance travelled use to bed of the ocean by the wave be d .when these waves reflect back from the bed of ocean and received by fathometer the upward distance travelled is also d hence total distance travelled is equal to 2d. if v be the velocity of waves in water and t be the the time taken for the waves to reach back to the fathometer the from the definition of speed

speed =distance travelled÷ time taken=2d÷t

d=v×t÷2

Answer:

Knowing how quickly sound travels in water allows us to assess the depth of the ocean (approximately 1,500 meters per second). Echosounding is a technique for surveying the seabed. Different frequencies of sound may be used by echosounders to learn more about the ocean.

Hope it helps:)
