Problem

14.6 A bat emits ultrasonic sound of frequency 1000 kHz in air. If the sound meets a water surface, what is the wavelength of (a) the reflected sound, (b) the transmitted sound? Speed of sound in air is 340 m s−1340 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} and in water 1486 m s−11486 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}. (a) What is the wavelength of the reflected sound? (b) What is the wavelength of the transmitted sound?
