Question: 1 . An ideal waveguide is given with a soft top ( ( p ( 0 ) = 0 ) ) and hard

1. An "ideal" waveguide is given with a soft top \((p(0)=0)\) and hard bottom \((\mathrm{dp}/\mathrm{dz}(\mathrm{D})=0)\) of depth \(\mathrm{D}=40\mathrm{~m}\) with a sound speed of \(1500\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) and density of \(1025\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\). Assume no absorption in the seawater. A CW source of unit strength of frequency 100 Hz is at a depth of 22.8 m .
a. What is the eigenvalue (horizontal wavenumber) of the first mode? What is the vertical wavenumber of the first mode? Please provide the answers with six significant digits.

b. What is the mode number of the first evanescent mode and what is its eigenvalue (horizontal wavenumber)?
(5 points)
c. Which of the propagating modes (ones with real eigenvalues) has the least energy? (5 points)
d. What is the modal grazing angle of the first mode?
(5 points)
e. Sketch the complex wavenumber \(\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{r}}\) plane with the locations of the first ten modal eigenvalues.
