Problem 82PP Echolocation As discussed in the chapter, many species of bats find flying insects by emitting pulses of ultrasound and listening for the reflections. This technique is called echolocation. Bats possess several adaptations that allow them to echolocate very effectively. Bats are sensitive to very small changes in frequency of the reflected waves. What information does this allow them to determine about their prey? A. Size B. Speed C. Distance D. Species

Problem 83PP As discussed in the chapter, many species of bats find flying insects by emitting pulses of ultrasound and listening for the reflections. This technique is called echolocation. Bats possess several adaptations that allow them to echolocate very effectively. Some bats have specially shaped noses that they use to focus the ultrasound pulses in the forward direction. Why is this useful? A. They are not distracted by echoes from several directions. B. The energy of the pulse is concentrated in a smaller area, so the intensity is larger. C. The pulse goes forward only, so it doesn’t affect the bat’s hearing.

Problem 84PP Echolocation As discussed in the chapter, many species of bats find flying insects by emitting pulses of ultrasound and listening for the reflections. This technique is called echolocation. Bats possess several adaptations that allow them to echolocate very effectively. Some bats utilize a sound pulse with a rapidly decreasing frequency. A decreasing-frequency pulse has A. Decreasing wavelength. B. Decreasing speed. C. Increasing wavelength. D. Increasing speed.
