The echo of a ship's fog horn reflected from an iceberg is heard 8.0 seconds after the horn is sounded How far away is the iceberg?
The echo indicates an approximate distance of 1325.2 meters. At 0 degrees Celsius, sound travels at about 331.3 m/sec at sea level, so the sound travelled 2650.4 meters in 8 seconds. Half of that was on the way to the iceberg and half was the return time. * variations with pressure and humidity can affect the ideal speed, and it may range from 331.2 to 331.6 m/second.
Which energy is used to measure the depth of the sea?
Depth measurements in the sea are done with echo sounders, using an acoustic signal which is reflected off the bottom. Sound travels at about 1.5 km/sec in water. Echo sounders can be quite simple devices for use by yachts in shallow waters, to much more complex equipment used in surveys for geographic purposes. The process is known as Bathymetry and there is a Wikipedia article under this title for more information.
