Echolocation is a form of sensory perception used by animals such as bats, toothed whales, and dolphins. The animal emits a pulse of sound (a longitudinal wave) which, after reflection from objects, returns and is detected by the animal. Echolocation waves can have frequencies of about 100,000 Hz. (a) Estimate the wavelength of a sea anmal's echolocation wave. (b) If an obstacle is 100 m from the animal, how long after the animal emits a wave is its reflection detected?

- Figure above shows the cross section of a wall made of two layers. The thickness of the 2 nd layer is L2= 0.70L1. The thermal conductivities of the layers are 0.25 and 0.75 W/mK, respectively and thermal conduction is steady. If the temperatures at inlet and between the layers are Ti = 30.0°C and T=8 °C, respectively; what is the outside temperature To for unit area?
