Sonar is a technology used to make maps of the sea floor, as well as to find fish and
military targets. Sonar is very similar to medical ultrasound, in that it makes images
using sound, but the sonar device is attached to the bottom of a boat and projects
downward through the water. While medical ultrasound uses frequencies in the MHz,
sonar works best with lower frequencies, because it has to travel longer distances.
Calculate the wavelength of a sonar wave with a frequency of 100 kHz. The speed of
sound in water is 1500 m/s.
15 mm
All electromagnetic radiation has a speed of c = 3 x 108 m/s.
What is the frequency of a green laser having a wavelength of 500 nm? (Answer in
THz)
600 THz

________ what the driver hears.
a. higher than
b. lower than
c. the same as
d. the inverse of
