10. Bottlenose dolphins produce a series of clicks at 60,437.43Hz and 215 dB (at 1 m away) which they use to locate prey in murky water (echolocation). You sit still underwater with a measurement to pick up this sound while a dolphin approaches you at 2ms from a distance of 15 m away. The saltwater you are swimming in has a bulk modulus of 2.34*109Nm and density of 1,025kgm3.
a. How long does it take for the sound to reach you after the dolphin makes it?(5 pts.)
b. What is the frequency of the sound that you measure? (5 pts.)
c. What is the intensity of the sound that you measure in decibels? (5 pts .)
d. The sound that returns to the dolphin is the same as if you were emitting the frequency that you are measuring due to the sound waves bouncing off of you. What is the frequency that the dolphin hears from the sound bouncing off of you? (5 pts.)
e. A second dolphin thinks you are a bit fishy and decides to come and check you out as well. If both dolphins stop, one 5.9837 m away and one 6.9962 m away. Determine the intensity of sound (in dB ) you experience as they both measure your fishiness. (5 pts .)
