To solve the problem of finding the wavelength of the reflected and transmitted sound when a bat emits ultrasonic sound of frequency 1000 kHz in air and it meets a water surface, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Data - Frequency of the sound emitted by the bat, \( f = 1000 \, \text{kHz} = 1 \times 10^6 \, \text{Hz} \) - Speed of sound in air, \( v_{\text{air}} = 340 \, \text{m/s} \) - Speed of sound in water, \( v_{\text{water}} = 1486 \, \text{m/s} \) ### Step 2: Calculate the Wavelength of the Reflected Sound ...
