A submarine can detect an approaching enemy submarine using sonar. If a stationary submerged submarine emits a 100kHz tone and receives a tone Doppler shifted by 200Hz, calculate the speed of the enemy submarine if the speed of sound in salt water is 1,482m/s. Note: Because the echo is off of a moving object, the moving object amplifies the Doppler effect by a factor of 2! Therefore, the speed must be cut in half. A. 1.0m/s B. 1.5m/s C. 2.2m/s OD. 3.3m/s E. 4.4m/s

    B) 1.5 m/s

    Explanation:

    The apparent frequency will be enhanced due to Doppler effect

    If f be the apparent frequency, F be the real frequency, V be the velocity of sound and v be the velocity of approaching submarine then f is given by

    f = F / frac{V+v}{V-v}//

    /frac{f}{F} = / frac{V+v}{V-v}//

    /frac{f}{F}-1 = / frac{V+v}{V-v}-1//

    /Delta f = / frac{2vf}{V-v}//

    200=/frac{2/times v/times 100/times 1000}{1482-v}//

    v=1.48 m/s
