Question 60

A geologist uses a slow-motion camera to count the individual low-frequency surface ripples (infrasound) propagating through a muddy basin after a minor tremor. A colleague suggests using the same visual tracking and manual counting method to measure the frequency of the ultrasound waves emitted by a bat during navigation.

Explain why this visual manual counting method would not be suitable for determining the frequency of the bat's ultrasound emissions.
