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.

3. The VE3KBR transmitter near Tokyo broadcasts on a frequency of 146.940 MHz. The transmitter is broadcasting a test sound that is picked up by a nearby amateur radio. The test sound has a frequency of 1 kHz and a wavelength of 33 cm. a) What is the wavelength of the transmitter’s radio wave (in metres)? b) What is the speed of the sound wave that is coming out of the radio (in m/s)?
You generate a sound wave of 420 Hz with a speaker. The speed of sound is 342 m/s. You are 2 m from the speaker. You back up until you are 6 m from the speaker. What happens to the intensity of the sound you hear? Does it decrease by a factor of 2, 3, 6, or something else?
As a sound wave propagates further over time, which of the following would be true? * O The ampltidue of the wave will slowly increase over time O The frequency of the wave will increase as it travels further O The intensity of the sound wave will decrease O The pitch of the sound wave will decrease None of the above will occur
