When the door of the Chapel of the Mausoleum in Hamilton, Scotland, is slammed shut, the last echo heard by someone standing just inside the door reportedly comes 15 s later. (a) If that echo were due to a single reflection off a wall opposite the door, how far from the door is the wall? (b) If, instead, the wall is 25.7 m away, how many reflections (back and forth) occur?
During a cricket game one fan is located directly behind wickets, 18.3 m from the batter and a second fan, is located in the centerfield bleachers, 127 m from the batter. Both fans observe the batter strike the ball at the same time (because the speed of light is about a million times faster than that of sound), but the fan behind home plate hears the sound first.
a) What is the time difference between hearing the sound at the two locations? Use 345 m/s as the speed of sound.
b) As the batter hits the ball at a speed of 43,556 m/s and a 220 Hz sound is emitted. If the ball moves in the direction of the first fan what frequency would she observe?
A sonar device emits waves of frequency 40 kHz. The wavelength of the wave in water is 0.032 m. Suppose thatthe device is fixed to the bottom of the ship. It emits a signal and the echo from the ocean bed returns 0.8 secondlater. What is the depth of the ocean at that point?

- Can someone please help me with this question and explain the solution: A fishing boat emits ultrasonic echoes to locate schools of fish. The boat observes a strong echo after 0.460 s in a direction with an angle of 10.0° to the water surface. The captain assumes that the water's temperature is constant 15.0 °C and based on this calculates the distance to the assumed the shoal of fish and how deep below the water surface it is. The assumption of constant however, the water temperature is incorrect: the water temperature is stratified and drops rapidly to 7.0 °C at a depth of 5.0 m below the transmitter. How much error does the captain make in calculating the distance to the shoal in height and length respectively?
