MCQ
A firecracker exploding on the surface of a lake is heard as two sounds a time interval $t$ apart by a man on a boat close to water surface. Sound travels with a speed $u$ in water and a speed $v$ in air. The distance from the exploding firecracker to the boat is
  • A
    $\frac{{uvt}}{{u + v}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{t(u + v)}}{{uv}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{t(u - v)}}{{uv}}$
  • $\frac{{uvt}}{{u - v}}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{{uvt}}{{u - v}}$
d
$\mathrm{d}=\mathrm{ut}_{0}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{d}=\mathrm{v}\left(\mathrm{t}_{0}+\mathrm{t}\right)$

$\Rightarrow(v-u) t_{0}+v t=0$

$t_{0}=\frac{v t}{u-v}$

$d=\frac{u v t}{u-v}$
