A bat flying at 4.60 m/s is chasing an insect flying in the same direction. The bat emits a 40.1-kHz chirp and receives back an echo at 40.5 kHz. (Take the speed of sound in air to be v = 343 m/s.)

(a) What is the speed of the insect?
m/s

(b) Will the bat be able to catch the insect?

YesNo

Problem 4: A bat flies towards a wall and emits a 5000 Hz sound wave. The speed of sound in the air is 343 m/s.               A: If the sound pulse takes 7 miliseconds to reflect off the wall and come back, how far from the wall is the bat?               B: If the frequency observed by the bat of the reflected wave is 165 Hz higher, how fast is the bat approaching the wall?

Dolphins swimming underwater rely upon echolocation to be able to locate nearby objects. While underwater, a dolphin produces an ultrasonic sound with a frequency of 115 kHz. What is the wavelength of this sound? If, while stationary in these waters, the dolphin emits a sound pulse and receives an echo after 0.260 s, how far away must the reflecting object be from the dolphin? Take the speed of sound in ocean water to be 1530 m/s. Answer both wavelength and...
