A bat emits ultrasonic waves of frequency 39 kHz and receives and echo 0.2 s later. If the speed of sound in air is 300 m/s and the speed of electro magnetic waves `3 xx 10^(8) m//s` then the distance of the bat from the object producing the echo is

A

60 m

B

30 m

C

`3 xx 10^(7) m`

D

`3 xx 10^(6) m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`2x = v t = 300 xx 0.2 = 60 m`
