Answer #1

Question 1 :

using v = f\lambda , here v is speed of wave , \lambda is wavelength and f is frequency

so v = 29*10-2*4 = 1.16 m/sec

Question 2 :

wavelength of detected wave = \lambda = v/f

\lambda = 419/(50.7*103) m

\lambda = 8.2643*10-3 m = 0.826 cm

so it can detect minimum 0.826 cm size insect.

Question 3 :

He will detect the flash immediatly.

Distance = speed of sound*time taken by sound

d = 343*4.86 = 1666.98 m
