Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If an echo sounder sends out a pulse and it takes 3 seconds for the echo to return, what is the depth of the water (assuming the speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s)?

💡 Hint: Remember to divide by 2 since the sound has to travel to the bottom and back.

Question 2

How would choosing a Single Beam Echo Sounder over a Multi-Beam Echo Sounder affect your data collection during a survey?

💡 Hint: Think about the scanning coverage of each device.
