Answer:
The moth is 13.2 m far from the bat.
Explanation:
Given, Speed of the sound is 330m/s.
Time for detection of sound by bat is 0.04 seconds.
Half of the time is taken to reach the moth remaing half of the time is taken by the reflection 1/2 of 0.04 = O.O2 Seconds.
Therefore,
distance = Speed x time
→ 330 X 0.04
→ 330 x 4/100
→ 132/10 = 13.2 m.
