Find the range of wavelengths emitted by the bat in meters, by using that the speed of sound is c=343m/sec and the range of frequencies from 70 to 30KHz. The solution matches the range of sizes for an insect. What is the order of magnitude for this range? Take this order and call it  L for the average size of an insect. b) If the bat produces a power of P = 10^-5 watts and its hearing threshold is  10^-12 watts/m^2 what is the maximum distance from which the bat can detect an echo?
