Answer:

The contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of the wave front is zero because of something known as the Obliquity Factor. It is assumed that the amplitude of the secondary wavelets is not independent of the direction of propagation, Sources: byju's.com

According to the Voigt and Kirchhoff's law for wavelets, the contribution of a wavelet in any direction making an angle x with the normal to the wavelet is proportional to {1+cos(x)/2)}

For wavelet lying on the back of secondary wavefront,

  • x = 180°

→ So, the proportional factor:

→ {1+cos(180°)/2}

→ (1-1/2)

→ (0/2)

→ 0

That's why the contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of secondary wave front is zero

A bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes.
zaharov [31]

Given that,

Frequency emitted by the bat, f = 47.6 kHz

The speed off sound in air, v = 413 m/s

We need to find the wavelength detected by the bat. The speed of a wave is given by formula as follows :

v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{413}{47.6\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=0.00867\ m

or

\lambda=8.67\ mm

So, the bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes i.e. 8.67 mm.
