The motion detector used in a physics lab sends and receives (40 mathrm{kHz}) ultrasonic pulses. A pulse

Question:

The motion detector used in a physics lab sends and receives \(40 \mathrm{kHz}\) ultrasonic pulses. A pulse goes out, reflects off the object being measured, and returns to the detector. The lab temperature is \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

a. What is the wavelength of the waves emitted by the motion detector?

b. How long does it take for a pulse that reflects off an object \(2.5 \mathrm{~m}\) away to make a round trip?
