The sound from a source travelled to the bottom of the sea and the echo was heard 4s later. If the speed of sound in sea water is 1500ms-1 the depth of the sea is

A
6000m
B
3000m
C
1500m
D
375m
Ask EduPadi AI...
Correct Option: B

t = 4s ; v = 150ms-1

depth = X ; but 2X = vt

X = (\frac {vt}{2}) = (\frac {1500 \times 4}{2})

X = 3000m
