Calculate the smallest insect the bat can detect

Reference no: EM13549643

A bat (see the image below) can detect very small objects, such as an insect whose length is approximately equal to one wavelength of the sound the bat makes. If bats emit chirps at a frequency of 59.0 kHz, and if the speed of sound in air is 344 m/s, what is the smallest insect the bat can detect?
