Bats don't have the best eyesight in the world, and because of this, they cant see their prey in the night, so they make high pitched noises, invisible to us. The sound waves they make eminate from them, hit something like a moth and bounce back, the bats hear the sound waves and can pin point the moth to the millimetre.

Why bats can sense obstacles?

Yes, bats can sense obstacles. Bats use echolocation to hear and see at night. When the vibrations bounce back, a bat can sense if there are things in the way.


What are the two way to measure wavelengths?

Wavelengths can be measured in meters (m) or nanometers (nm). Meters are commonly used for longer wavelengths, while nanometers are used for shorter wavelengths, particularly in the visible light spectrum.


What is the secret way that bats hear?

Bats do not see but have a heightened hearing sense. They use echo location to determine distance between objects and steer clear of predators while also hunting for food.


How Do Bats Hear Sound?

The same way we do - by using their ears ! Bats use ultra-sonic sound which is higher than the range humans can hear - their 'squeaks' bounce off objects, and prey and are reflected back to the bat so it can navigate in total darkness.


Can dogs hear bat noises?

depends if there are bats.The dogs can hear them, but don't seem to pay any attention to the bats. The dogs are simply not any more interested in a bat up in the sky, than they are a songbird trilling on a branch.By they way, humans can indeed hear some (but not all) of the sounds that bats make. Hard to describe, but sharp clicks that we can all hear. The bats love to come and hunt the insects that are drawn to sodium lights (street lights). Sometimes we watch them dive and swoop, eating the bugs, just for fun.


How well do dolphins hear?

Bats hear through their ears but they also use echolocation. This is just basically high-pitched sound waves sent out from a bats mouth or nose. These echoes then hit an object and bounce back to the bat. The bats can then locate the object, tell what size it is, and its shape, and its texture! Bats hear with their ears and echolocation; it picks up vibrations and then waits for them to come back to the ear. See the related question below.. +++ You've muddled two questions. They hear sounds in much the same way as any other mammal including us, although at much higher frequencies and band-widths, and that is part of their echo-location. They don't hear with their ears and echolocation: they call with their voices and hear with their ears.


How can monkey hear sounds?

They hear sounds in the same way that humans do.


What is sound perspective?

Sound perspective is the way you hear a sound. (Where you hear it coming from)


Why visible lights have different colors?

All kinds of waves, including light, have different possible wavelengths and frequencies. What particular wavelength a light wave might have depends on how it was made. Now if two light rays with different wavelengths enter your eye can you tell there were two different wavelengths? The answer is yes, and the way you tell is that your brain reacts differently to the two waves. The way it reacts differently is by giving the two waves "color". So its not really the waves that have different colors its the way your brain interprets the different wavelengths.


Can you hear the ultrasound waves that a bat uses for echolocation?

No, humans cannot hear the ultrasound waves that bats use for echolocation because they are at a frequency greater than what our ears can detect. Bats produce ultrasound waves at frequencies typically ranging from 20 to 200 kHz, well above the audible range for humans (20 Hz to 20 kHz).
