Q

Which of the following conditions would result in greater nano speed delays occurring in the echo delay circuit of the beam former?

  1. An echo returning from a deeper depth
  2. An echo returning from a shallower depth
  3. An echo returning from mid range depth
A
  1. An echo returning from a shallower depth
    (Because the object is so close, to make sure that there is a delay we must fire more constantly)
