An ultrasonic tape measure uses frequencies above 20 MHz todetermine dimensions of structures such as buildings. It does so byemitting a pulse of ultrasound into air and then measuring the timeinterval for an echo to return from a reflecting surface whosedistance away is to be measured. The distance is displayed as adigital read-out. A tape measure emits a pulse of ultrasound with afrequency of 25.0 MHz.
(a) What is the distance to an object fromwhich the echo pulse returns after 24ms when the air temperature is 26°C?
(b) What should be the duration of the emitted pulse if it is toinclude 10 cycles of the ultrasonic wave?
(c) What is the spatial length of such a pulse?
