A ship sends out a 1200 Hz sound wave, which has a wavelength of 1.2 m in the water. It reflects off the ocean floor and returns to the ship in a total time of 5 seconds. How deep is the ocean at this location?

    speed = frequency * wavelength

    1200*1.2=1440m/s

    s=2d/t

    1440=2d/5

    2d=7200

    d=3600m
