Best Answer

Bats produce high frequency (also known as ultrasonic) sound waves, which they use as a type of sonar, to locate insects in the air.

How does ultrasound help bats around?

Ultrasounds are those sound waves that have a frequency that is higher than human hearing range that is above 20000 Hz. Bats produce these kinds of sound waves when they fly, this sound wave hits any obstacle(prey or enemy) in its path and gets reflected back to the bat (bcoz angle of incidence is always equal to angle of reflection). The bat senses the time taken for the sound wave to return and judges the distance of its prey or enemy. this help it to find its prey or enemy. Bats have this kind of adaptation because they donot have eyesight.


What is it called when bats, whales, and dolphins emit sound waves and interpret the reflect sound waves as a means to locate objects?

How can sound help?

Some animals like bats and dolphins use sound to navigate. They do this by sending out sound waves. These bounce off of objects and come back to the animal. These returning sound waves are interpreted by the brain and create a kid of map for the animal.
