Determination of ultrasonic velocity (sonar principle)

Principle: An ultrasonic transmitter emits sound pulses onto a reflector, from which recording of them by a receiver shows a time delay. The velocity of sound is calculated from the path length and transmission time of the sound pulses.

Tasks:
1.   Determine transmission times for different distances apart of the transmitter and the receiver.
2.   Plot a graph of the path lengths of the sound pulses against their transmission time.
3.   Determine the velocity of sound from the graph.
