Question
State one important property of waves used for echo depth sounding.
Advertisements
Solution
The waves used for echo depth sounding are ultrasonic waves (frequency above 20000 Hz). The important property of such type of a wave is that they travel undeviated through long distances and that they can be confined to a narrow beam. They are not easily absorbed in a medium.
