The motion detector used in a physics lab sends and receives 26 kHz ultrasonic pulses of sound waves. A pulse goes out, reflects off the object being measured, and returns to the detector. The lab is at normal room temperature. What is the wavelength of the sound waves emitted by the motion detector? Show your work or explain your reasoning.

A metal rod A and a metal sphere B, on insulating stands, touch each other as shown. They are originally neutral. First, a positively charged rod is brought near (but not touching) the far end of A. Then, while the charged rod is still close, A and B are separated. Finally, the charged rod is then withdrawn. At the end, the charge on the rod and sphere are _______________. It is NOT necessary to show work or reasoning for this problem.
