Question 25Read the passage about echolocation.Echolocation is used by some animals, such as whales andbats, to find the location of objects by sending out soundwaves through a medium. The length of time it takes forthe sound wave to strike an object and bounce back tellsthe location of the object.How would the length of time it takes a sound wave to return to a whale differ from the time it takes a sound wave to return to a bat?АA sound wave would return faster to a bat because sound travels faster in air than it does in water.A sound wave would return faster to a bat because the wavelength is shorter in air than in water.A sound wave would return faster to a whale because sound travels faster in water than it does in air.A sound wave would return faster to a whale because the wavelength is longer in water than in air.©2021 Illuminate Education TM, Inc.hpB.

Sound waves Travel Faster in Water than Air, and this is because the water particles are packed more…

How would the length of time it takes a sound wave to return to a whale differ from the time it takes a sound wave to return to a bat? A sound wave would return faster to bat because sound travels faster in air than it does in water. A sound wave would return faster to a bat because the wavelength is shorter in air than in water. A sound wave would return faster to a whale because sound travels faster in water than it does in air.

How would the length of time it takes a sound wave to return to a whale differ from the time it takes a sound wave to return to a bat? A sound wave would return faster to bat because sound travels faster in air than it does in water. A sound wave would return faster to a bat because the wavelength is shorter in air than in water. A sound wave would return faster to a whale because sound travels faster in water than it does in air.

5. A bat is flying towards a tree while emitting a sound wave with frequency 100 kHz. The bat hears a beat frequency of 3 kHz between the emitted and reflected sound. How fast is the bat flying? (Hint: break the problem into two parts, first with the bat as the source and the tree as the listener, and then with the tree as the source and the bat as the listener.

An observer hears a sound from a vehicle that is parked. Then, the vehicle starts moving toward her. What will happen to the frequency and wavelength of the waves when the vehicle starts moving toward her? Your answer: The frequency and wavelength will both increase. The frequency and wavelength will both decrease. The frequency will increase and the wavelength will decrease. The frequency will decrease and the wavelength will increase.
