"The smallest insects that a bat can detect are approximately the size of one wavelength of the sound the bat makes. What is the

minimum frequency of sound waves required for a bat to detect an insect that is 0.0057 m long? (assume the speed of sound is 340 m/s.)"

Answer:

Frequency, f = 59.6 kHz

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of sound, v = 340 m/s

The bat can detect an insect that is 0.0057 m long, \lambda=0.0057\ m

We need to find the minimum frequency of sound waves required for a bat to detect an insect. The speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{340\ m/s}{0.0057\ m}\\\\f=59649.12\ Hz

or

f = 59.6 kHz

So, the frequency detected by the bat is 59.6 kHz.

The smallest level of organization in living things is
Advocard [28]
The smallest level of organization in living things is the atom.

Next in line would be the cell, since a cell is made up of atoms working together. Next, cells working together would make up a tissue, and further, tissues working together would make up an organ.

A light wave travels through air in equals 1.00 at an angle of 35 degrees what angle does it have when it passes from the air in
lyudmila [28]

Answer: Angle 59 degree

Explanation: Given that the

n1 = 1.0

n2 = 1.5

Øi = 35 degree

From Snell law, which says that

n1/n2 = sinØ1/ sinØ2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

1/1.5 = sin 35/sinØ2

Cross multiply

Sin Ø2 = 1.5 sin35

SinØ2 = 1.5 × 0.573 = 0.860

Ø2 = sin^-1(0.860)

Ø2 = 59.36 degree

Ø2 = 59 degree ( approximately)

It has angle 59 degree when passing from air to glass

An object is thrown directly up (positive direction) with a velocity (vo) of 20.0 m/s and do= 0. How high does it rise (v = 0 cm
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The value of d is 20.4 m.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity = 20 m/s

Final velocity = 0

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

v = u+gt

Where, u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

Put the value into the formula

t = \dfrac{20}{9.8}

t= 2.04\ sec

We need to calculate the distance

Using equation of motion

s = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(2.04)^2

s=20.4\ m

Hence, The value of d is 20.4 m.
