🗑
[T/F]: Noise is anisotropic in the real ocean   show
🗑
show Acoustic pressure  
🗑

🗑
Which is NOT a SONAR equation? [Active, Passive, Active reverberation, Passive reverberation]   show
🗑
A company needs to evaluate where they should drill an oil exploration well in deepwater. Which system is most applicable? [Side scan SONAR, sub-bottom profiler, Seismic, CHIRP]   show
🗑
When studying sea sound propogation, the given equation is decribed by which law? cos(theta_2)/cos(theta_1) = c_2/c_1 [Ideal gas, Snell's, Euler's, Wave equation]   show
🗑

🗑

🗑
show True, the fuck  
🗑
If a system is active with the parameters SL = 180 dB, TS = 50 dB, NL = 20 dB, DI = 10 dB, & DT = 25 dB, what is the allowable TL? [48.75 dB, 97.5 dB, 195 dB, 87.5 dB]   show
🗑

🗑
show Steradian  
🗑
[T/F]: Sound velocity INCREASES as temperature, salinity, and depth INCREASE.   show
