here,
the frequency of the Ultrasound , f = 12 MHz
f = 12 * 10^6 Hz
the speed of sound in human tissue , v = 1540 m/s
the size of the smallest feature observable in human tissue , S = wavelength of light
S = v /f
S = 1540 /(12 * 10^6) m
S = 1.28 * 10^-4 m
Ultrasound probes can resolve structural details with sizes approximately equal to the wavelength of the ultrasound...
An ultrasound machine can measure blood flow speeds. Assume the machine emits acoustic energy at a frequency of 2.10 MHz, and the speed of the wave in human tissue is taken to be 1490.0 m/s. What is the beat frequency feat between the transmitted and reflected waves if blood is flowing in large arteries at 0.0260 m/s directly away from the sound source? feat Hz
An ultrasound machine can measure blood flow speeds. Assume the machine emits acoustic energy at a frequency of 4.50 MHz, and the speed of the wave in human tissue is taken to be 1530.0 m/s. What is the beat frequency fbeat between the transmitted and reflected waves if blood is flowing in large arteries at 0.0180 m/s directly away from the sound source? fbeat = 1000
A bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to one wavelength of the sound the bat makes. If bats emit a chirp at a frequency of 54.5 kHz, and the speed of sound in air is 339 m/s, what is the smallest insect a bat can detect?
