- Dolphins emit ultrasonic waves with a frequency as high as 2.70 × 105 Hz. What is the wavelength of an ultrasonic wave of frequency 2.70 × 105 Hz in seawater at 25.0°C? The speed of sound in seawater at 25.0°C is 1533 m/s (see Table 12.1).arrow_forwardDolphins emit ultrasonic waves with a frequency as high as 2.50 × 105 Hz. What is the wavelength of an ultrasonic wave of frequency 2.50 × 105 Hz in seawater at 25.0°C? The speed of sound in seawater at 25.0°C is 1533 m/s (see Table 12.1).arrow_forwardOne way to monitor global warming is to measure the average temperature of the ocean. Researchers are doing this by measuring the time it takes sound pulses to travel underwater over large distances. At a depth of 1000 m, where ocean temperatures hold steady near 4∘C, the average sound speed is 1480m/s. It's known from laboratory measurements that the sound speed increases 4.0m/s for every 1.0∘C increase in temperature. In one experiment, where sounds generated near California are detected in the South Pacific, the sound waves travel 8300 km .If the smallest time change that can be reliably detected is 1.0 s, what is the smallest change in average temperature that can be measured?arrow_forward
