In order to calculate a distance, we must use the equation
Speed=Distance/Time
and rearrange it by multiplying both sides by time to get
Distance=Speed*Time.
If the station is measuring time for a return signal, the signal only spent half its total time traveling to the object, or in this case, 1.5 seconds. Sonar stations receive signals sent via sound-waves, but since the speed of sound varies in different mediums, the speed, and thus the distance, depends on where the sonar station is. If the station is above ground, the speed of sound is approximately 343 meters/second, so the object would have to be 514.5 meters away. If however the station and object were underwater, the speed of sound is about 1497 meters/second (varying depending on water temperature and composition) meaning the object would be 2245.5 meters away.

Is it true that the transmitter of a radio station combines an electronic signal with a sound waves?
No. The transmitter of a radio station emits an electromagnetic signal that has been modified by sound waves that were converted into an electronic signal.
Explain how a Microwave regenerate signal about every thirty-five miles?
-- A receiver receives the radio signal from the previous station.-- The receiver extracts the information from the signal.-- The information is applied to a transmitter, which transmits a new radio signal to the next station.
What is formula for calculating range from pulse rate of radar?
Pulse rate is either set up by the operator or the equipment designer. Range of some detected object is determined by the speed of light and the distance of the object causing the return signal pulse, using the formula: distance= velocity of light multiplied by half the time delay for the return echo.
Which station's signal has waves with longer wavelengths?
electromagnetic waves with a longer wavelength has
Does radar determine the size of an object?
Radar is usually used only to determine where something is, not how large it is, because the strength of the reflection depends upon the reflectivity of the surface, the distance of the object, and the size of the object; a large wooden object can return less of a signal than a much smaller metal object, for example. It's too complicated a problem. But if you already know that you are looking, let us say, for an airplane, then radar is very good at showing you where the plane is.
What station is signal 1?
102.60
What do transponders on aircrafts do?
They do a few different things these days but their primary role is that of radar. The use of radar that flies from a station, hits the aircraft and bounces back to the station is very limited. In most normal situations the ground station sends out a signal. The transponder receives the signal and transmits the return signal. It allows for greater range of the radar and also allows extra info to be passed to the radar controller like height and aircraft ID. This is known as Secondary Radar.
What is the difference between a wave and signal?
1.wave is a three dimensional object where as signal is a two dimensional object

How are signal received in radio station?
transmissions

What does tuning a radio station have to do with resonance?
A signal from a radio station is tuned in a radio receiver by applying the signal to a resonant tuned circuit that accepts the wanted signal while rejecting all the other signals arriving.
How do you measure the frequency of a non-periodic signal?
You see how long it takes for each signal and find the average. Example: 1st: 1second 2nd: 3seconds 3rd: 2seconds. So add all and divide by how many terms (3). 1+3+2=6 6/3= 2. The frequency is 2units. I hope this is right.........
a signal that has been green for a long time is called what?
[object Object]
Which station's signal has waves with higher energy?
x - rays
Transmitting a signal from a ground station to a satellite is called?
uplinking
