Figure 1
The bat emits a high frequency sound pulse to locate its prey.
The speed of sound in air is 330 m / s.
(a) The wavelength of the sound is 11 mm.
Calculate the frequency of the sound.
(2)
Use the equation
v=f×λ
frequency = .......................... Hz
(b) The pulse returns to the bat after a time of 18 ms.
Calculate the distance from the bat to its prey.
