Problem

A ship emits a short sound pulse straight downwards and detects the echo after 1.6 s1.6\,\text{s}. In the formula d=vt2d=\dfrac{v t}{2} used to find dd, the distance dd stands for a) the wavelength of the emitted sound pulse in water b) the total round-trip distance covered by the pulse c) the depth of the sea bed below the ship d) the horizontal distance travelled by the pulse
