Dolphin echolocation is similar to ultrasound. Reflected sound waves

Physics
1 answer:
s344n2d4d5 [400]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

Explanation:

To understand why high-frequency waves work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation, first we have to understand the relation between frequency and wavelength.

The relation between frequency and wavelength is given by

λ = c/f

Where λ is wavelength, c is the speed of light and f is the frequency.

Since the speed of light is constant, the wavelength and frequency are inversely related.

So that means high frequency waves have shorter wavelengths, which is the very reason for the successful echolocation because waves having shorter wavelength are more likely to reach and hit the target and then reflect back to the dolphin to form an image of the object.

Thus, waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

One of the foci for the moon's orbit would be the
suter [353]
The question is oversimplified, and pretty sloppy.

Relative to the Earth . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around us, with a period of
27.32... days, and with the Earth at one focus of the ellipse.

Relative to the Sun . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a period
of 365.24... days, and with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse,
and the Moon itself makes little dimples or squiggles in its orbit
on account of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.

I'm sorry if that seems complicated.  You know that motion is
always relative to something, and the solar system is not simple.

the average time required for radioactive elements, whereby they decay to half their original mass is called the "average life"
VikaD [51]
I'm not sure what your question is. But, the half life is the amount of time required for half the material to decay. For U238 this is 4.5 billion years, whilst for Fr-223 (Francium) its about 22 minutes. To calculate the time for something to decay you need to use the equation:
Mass (after time t) = Mass (initial) * (0.5)^(time/half life)
Hope this helps

Does the sun always shine directly overhead at the equator at noon
Nikitich [7]
The sun always shines directly overhead at noon. This is because the equator always gets the equivalent amount of sunlight. The area always get 12 hours of sunlight, because it's 0 degrees north and south and it's at the center of the Earth.

A cosmic catastrophic event occurred that caused the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its plane of orbit to increase from 23
Gnom [1K]

Answer: The elimination of seasonal variations

Explanation:

Since the cosmic catastrophic event which occurred led to the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of orbit to increase from 23.5° to 90°, the most obvious effect of this change would be the elimination of seasonal variations.

It should be noted that seasonal variation refers to the variation in a time series that's within a year which is repeated. The cause of seasonal variation can include rainfall, temperature, etc.
