Solution

At the bottom of the lake, if an explosion takes place,shock waves are produced in the form of semi ellipse. These waves with large pressure travel faster than sound waves. The shock wave created due to explosion at the bottom of lake is of very short duration. Infact they last only a few milliseconds.
