What is the smallest insect a bat can detect

Reference no: EM13669839

A bat can detect small objects, such as an insect, whose size is approximately equal to one wavelength of the sound the bat makes. If bats emit a chirp at a frequency of 54.0 kHz, and if the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, what is the smallest insect a bat can detect?
