Why cant sonar find the distance between the earth and the moon?
Sonar works by sending sound waves that bounce off objects and return to the source, measuring the time it takes for the sound waves to travel. The distance between the Earth and the Moon is too vast for sound waves to travel and bounce back within a reasonable time frame for sonar to effectively measure. Sonar is typically used in underwater environments where sound waves can travel quickly and bounce off objects within a shorter distance.
Speed of sound from earth to moon?
For sound to travel, a certain amount of molecules per unit of space are required. In space (that is, outside the atmosphere) -specifically the space between the Earth and the moon- this threshold is not met, so there is no sound. The answer to this question is "Not Applicable."
If everyone on earth was to shout how far will the sound travel by distance?
around the world 26,000 miles
When will an ultrasonic sound wave reach the moon?
It will never reach the moon. Being a sound wave, it requires a material medium in which to propagate.Virtually the entire distance between earth and moon is totally devoid of any material substance through whichsound may travel.
A gun fired from moon can be heard at a distance of?
It is not possible to hear a gun fired from the moon on Earth due to the vacuum of space, which does not transmit sound waves. Sound requires a medium, such as air, to travel through, and the moon lacks the necessary atmosphere for sound to propagate.
Ways to measure sound from an distance?
to measure sound from distance use decibels
If an oscilloscope is used to measure the distance between the crests of a sound wave what property of the wave will it be measuring?
The oscilloscope will be measuring the wavelength of the sound wave.
How do you investigate the speed o f sound?
One way to investigate the speed of sound is to measure the time it takes for a sound wave to travel a known distance, like using a stopwatch to measure the time between the sight of a lightning bolt and the sound of thunder. Another method is to use a resonance tube or other equipment to create sound waves and measure the wavelengths at different frequencies to calculate the speed of sound.
What is one way to measure a wavelength in sound?
One way to measure a wavelength in sound is to calculate it by dividing the speed of sound in air by the frequency of the sound wave. This will give you the distance between two consecutive points on the wave that are in phase with each other.

How do you measure velocity in supersonic jet?
-- Measure the distance between two points.-- Measure the time it takes the jet to fly from one point to the other one.-- The speed of the jet between the two points is(the distance between them)/(the time it takes to fly from one to the other)
What is the relationship between sound intensity and distance?
The relationship between sound intensity and distance is that sound intensity decreases as distance from the sound source increases. This is because sound waves spread out as they travel, causing the intensity of the sound to decrease with distance.
What is a wavelength?
A wavelength is the distance between the same points on two consecutive waves, such as the distance between two peaks or two troughs. It is commonly used to measure the size of a wave in physics, such as in the case of light or sound waves.
An oscilloscope can be used to produce visible pictures of sound waves. If an oscilloscope is used to measure the distance between the crests of a sound wave what property of the wave will it be measu?
Wavelenght
The system of using sound to measure distance is called what?
Sonar.
How an echo could be used to measure the distance to an object that is reflecting sound?
An echo can be used to measure distance by sending out a sound pulse and measuring the time it takes for the sound to bounce off the object and return as an echo. The distance can be calculated using the time taken for the sound to travel back and forth and the speed of sound in the medium. By knowing the speed of sound and the time it takes for the sound to return, the distance to the object can be determined.
The process of using sound waves underwater to measure distance is called?
The process of using sound waves underwater to measure distance is called sonar, which stands for Sound Navigation and Ranging. Sonar systems emit sound waves that bounce off objects in the water and are then detected to determine the distance to the object.
