Remark
You have to pick a velocity for an ultra sound wave. I'm going to take the sound velocity to be 331 m/s in air, because I'm assuming that is what is meant: it is the sound a bat would make once he emits the ultrasound to a microphone like device that receives it. The media through which that happens is air.
Givens
v = 331m/s
f = 4 *10^4 hz
Formula
velocity = wavelength * frequency
v = [tex]\lambda[/tex]*f
331/(4*10^4) = [tex]\lambda[/tex]
0.008275 = [tex]\lambda[/tex]
8.275*10^-3 = [tex]\lambda[/tex]
ultrasonic wave is a type of sound wave. speed of sound in air at room temp is 343m/s.
speed = wavelength * frequency
wavelength = speed / frequency = 343/4*10^4
= 0.00858m
= 8.58mm
