A SONAR (sound navigation and ranging) uses ultrasonic waves to detect and locate object under water. In a submarine equaipped with as SONAR, the time delay between genration of a probe wave and the recption of its echo after refection from an enemy submarine is found to be 77.0 s. What is the distance of the enemy submarine ? (speed of sound in water = 1450 ms^(-1)

Solution :

Here speed of sound in water `v = 1450 m s^(-1)` and time of echo `t = 77.0 s`. <br> If distance of enemy submarine be d, then `t =2d//v` <br> `:. D=vt//2=1450xx77.0//2=55825 m=55.8xx10^(3) m` or `55.8 km`.

An Indian submarine and an enemy submarine move towards each other during maneuvers in motionless water in the Indian ocean. The Indian submarine moves at 50 km/h , and the enemy submarine at 70 km/h . The Indian sub sends out a sonar signal (sound wave in water) at 1000 Hz . Sonar waves travel at 5500 km/h . What is the frequency detected by the Indian submarine <br> <img src="https://d10lpgp6xz60nq.cloudfront.net/physics_images/ERRL_PHY_NEET_V01_SET_17_E01_011_Q01.png" width="80%">

An indian submarine is moving in the Arabian sea with constant velocity. To detect enemy it sends out sonar waves which travel with velocity `1050(m)/(s)` in water. Initially the waves are getting reflected from a fixed island and the reflected waves are coming back to submarine. The frequency of reflected waves are detected by the submarine and found to be `10%` greater than the sent waves. <br> Now an enemy ship comes in front, due to which the frequency of reflected waves detected by submarine becomes `21%` greater than the sent waves. <br> Q. The velocity of enemy ship should be <br> <img src="https://d10lpgp6xz60nq.cloudfront.net/physics_images/BMS_VO6_C06_E01_138_Q01.png" width="80%">

Two submarines are approaching each other in a calm sea. The first submarine travels at a speed of `36 km h^-1` and the other at `54 km h^-1` relative to the water. The first submarine sends a sound signal (sound waves in water are also called sonar) at a frequency of 2000 Hz. (a) At what frequency is this signal received by the second submarine ? (b) The signal is reflected from the second submarine. At what frequency is this signal received by the first submarine. Take the speed of the sound wave in water to be `1500 m s^-1` .
