and back to the boat. The sound waves were reported to be traveling at
1210 m/s. How deep is the pond in meters? *
O 12.1
O 24.2

    Answer: 24.2

    Explanation:

    Given that:

    Time taken for sound travel = 0.02 seconds

    Speed of traveling sound wave = 1210 m/s

    Depth of pond = ?

    Recall that speed is obtained by dividing the distance covered (depth travelled) by the time taken.

    Hence, speed = (depth travelled / time taken)

    1210 m/s = depth travelled / 0.02 seconds

    Depth travelled = 1210 m/s x 0.02 seconds

    Depth travelled = 24.2 m

    Thus, the pond is 24.2 metres deep
