About this document
Sound Research in Ocean Studies by Hanh Le is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document is a reading passage about how sound has been used to study the oceans. It discusses: 1) How sound travels much farther underwater than light, allowing scientists to use sound-based techniques to learn more about the oceans than was previously possible. 2) Early experiments in the 18th century that measured the speed of sound in water, finding it travels around 5 times faster than in air. 3) Experiments in the 1940s that discovered low-frequency sounds could travel thousands of kilometers
