A bat can detect small objects, such as an insect, whose size is approximately equal to one wavelength of the sound the bat make

s. If bats emit a chirp at a frequency of 5.59 104 Hz, and if the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, what is the smallest insect a bat can detect?Answer in units of mm

Answer:

6.136 mm

Explanation:

given,

frequency emitted by the bat = 5.59 x 10⁴ Hz

speed of sound = 343 m/s

smallest insect bat can hear  will be equal to the wavelength  of the sound the bat make.

\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda = \dfrac{343}{5.59\times 10^4}

\lambda = 6.136\times 10^{-3}}

λ = 6.136 mm

so, the smallest size of insect that bat can hear is equal to 6.136 mm

<h2>The smallest insect a bat can detect is of size 6.13 mm</h2>

Explanation:

Velocity = Wavelength x Frequency

v = fλ

Velocity of sound, v = 343 m/s

Frequency, f = 5.59 x 10⁴ Hz

Substituting

             343 =  Wavelength x 5.59 x 10⁴

             Wavelength = 6.13 x 10⁻³ m = 6.13 mm

A bat can detect small objects, such as an insect, whose size is approximately equal to one wavelength of the sound the bat makes.

The smallest insect a bat can detect is of size 6.13 mm

Ferns that eject spores generally do so in pairs, with two spores flying off in opposite directions. The structure from which th
Furkat [3]

Answer:

It cancels recoil.

Explanation:

For each action there is an equal an opposite reaction.

The principle of conservation of momentum tell us that if a single spore were ejected the fern would suffer a recoil from it. This recoil would take energy and speed from the spore. But if they are ejected in pairs the recoil is canceled and all the energy is transferred to the spores resulting in higher speeds.

An Na ion has a charge of +1 and an O ion has a charge of –2. How many Na ions does one O ion need to balance charges
Aleonysh [2.5K]
Because Na⁺ ion lacks an electron and O²⁻ has two extra electrons extra, to balance the charge, we need 2 Na⁺ ions.
 
All ions, atoms and molecules want to get to the minimum energy state, and that state is when the ion, atom, or molecule is neutral, that's why all of them want to balance their charges.
