Dolphin echolocation is similar to ultrasound. Reflected sound waves

Physics

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.

Andy pushes a box to the right with 5 N of force. Kristen pushes the box to the left with 3 N of force. What will be the resulti
REY [17]
The forces are applied in opposite direction.
So the net force will be the difference of both forces.
net force =5-3=2N

This force will be in direction of 5N(bigger force) means in direction which Andy is pushing.

you and a friend setup an umbrella and chairs at a beach. your friend goes into the surf zone while you relax on the sand. sever
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Backwash effect

Explanation:

Your friend moved along the shore due to ; The swash effect and the Backwash effect

Swash effect is caused by the upsurge of water up along the slopping front of the beach  and this same upsurge in water moves back into the beach in what is known as the backwash effect hence the movement of your friend form where they were in the surf zone to another position still within the surface zone is caused by the BACKWASH EFFECT
