A stone dropped from the top of a tower of height \(300\) m splashes into the water of a pond near the base of the tower. When is the splash heard at the top?
(Given that the speed of sound in air is \(340\) m/s and \(g=9.8\) m/s²)
1. \(7.7\)
2. \(8.7\)
3. \(6.7\)
4. \(7.8\)

A steel wire has a length of \(12.0\) m and a mass of \(2.10\) kg. What should be the tension in the wire so that the speed of a transverse wave on the wire equals the speed of sound in dry air, at \(20^{\circ}\text{C}\) (which is \(343\) m/s)?
1. \(4.3\times10^3\) N
2. \(3.2\times10^4\) N
3. \(2.06\times10^4\) N
4. \(1.2\times10^4\) N

The speed of sound in air is:

A bat emits an ultrasonic sound of frequency \(1000\) kHz in the air. If the sound meets a water surface, what is the wavelength of the reflected sound? (The speed of sound in air is \(340\) m/sec and in water is \(1486\) m/sec)
1. \(3.4 \times 10^{-4}~\text{m}\)
2. \(1 . 49 \times 10^{- 3}  ~ \text{m}\)
3. \(2 . 34 \times 10^{- 2}   ~\text{m}\)
4. \(1 . 73 \times10^{- 3}   ~\text{m}\)

A hospital uses an ultrasonic scanner to locate tumors in a tissue. What is the wavelength of sound in the tissue in which the speed of sound is \(1.7~\text{km/s}\)? The operating frequency of the scanner is \(4.2~\text{MHz}\).
