Question

Bats use a process called echolocation to find their food. This involves giving out sound waves that hit possible prey or food. When the waves hit an object, they bounce back to the bat, allowing the bat to locate its prey. What type of wave interaction is echolocation?

Answer 1

The type of waves used by bats are sound waves. Most of the species use their larynx to produce ultrasound waves in the frequency range of 20 to 200 kilohertz.
These sound waves are echoed, reflected, by surroundings, in this case food or prey. These reflections are received by the specialized receptor cells in the ears of bats. The reflections are analyzed by the brain to make an image.
Fun fact: The brain cells of bats are also specialized to better analyze the frequency of ultrasound used by the bat.

Answer 2

reflection is the correct answer
