Echolocation relies on the timing of echoes returning from distant objects. Imagine that a bat in air sends out a signal, and then hears the echo after the signal bounces off of an insect.
(a) If the bat can determine the arrival time of a sound with a precision of 1 ms, how precisely can it measure the distance to an object?
(b) How far away is the target if the time between emitting and receiving the signal is 55 ms?
