All I'm looking for is confirmation that I correctly solved the problem. I know that I can use the formula: λ(wavelength) = v/f
When I put in the numbers it gives me 5.666666666666667, which I then round up to 5.7.
Is 5.7m the correct answer?
Bats chirp at a high frequency which humans cannot hear. They use the echoes to detect small objects, such as insects, as small as one wavelength. If a bat were to emit a chirp at a frequency of 60.0 kHz and the speed of sound waves in the air are 340 m.s, what is the size in millimeters of the smallest insect that the bat can detect?

You didn't convert the frequenzy from kKz to Hz. And don't forget to convert your answer to millimeter
can anyone just actually answer it thnxxxx
