A straight tube consists of a

0.20\,\text{m}

section filled with air followed by a

1.50\,\text{m}

section filled with water. A short sound pulse enters one end of the tube and emerges from the other end after

0.0015\,\text{s}

. If the speed of sound in air is

340\,\text{m/s}

, calculate the speed of sound in water. (a)

1.5\times10^{3}\,\text{m/s}

(b)

1.6\times10^{3}\,\text{m/s}

(c)

3.4\times10^{2}\,\text{m/s}

(d)

1.1\times10^{3}\,\text{m/s}
