    This document discusses reflection of waves in physics. It contains 3 examples involving reflection of ultrasonic waves from the sea bed to determine depth, reflection of sound waves from guitar strings of different thicknesses, and reflection of ultrasonic waves from a shoal of fish. The examples can be used to calculate wavelength, depth, thickness effects on frequency, and distance to fish shoal based on time for echo return.

    5.3 REFLECTION OF WAVES

    1. (a) Ultrasonic waves are transmitted from a ship to the sea-bed to determine the depth of the sea. The PL
    frequency of the ultrasonic waves transmitted is 25 kHz. It travels at a speed of 1 500 m s-1 in sea
    water. The detector on the ship receives the echoes of the ultrasonic waves 0.12 s after the waves
    are transmitted.
    Calculate;
    (i) the depth of the sea.

    (ii) the wavelength of the ultrasonic waves in sea water

    2.

    (i) State the physical quantity that affects the pitch of the sound.

    2
    (ii) By using Diagram 2.1 and Diagram 2.2, compare the thickness of the guitar strings plucked, the
    amplitude of traces on the C.R.O. screen produced and the frequency of traces on the C.R.O. screen
    produced. Relate the thickness of the guitar strings plucked to the frequency of sound wave
    produced.

    3 A dolphin emits an ultrasonic wave with speed 1500 m s-1 to a shoal of fish. If the frequency of the
    ultrasonic wave is 120 kHz, calculate;
    (i) the wavelength of the ultrasonic wave in water
    3

    (ii) the distance between the dolphin and the shoal of fish when the echo returns after 50
    miliseconds.
