Attenuation of Ultrasound

Ultrasound is absorbed in the body; this complicates the use of ultrasound to image tissues. The intensity of a beam of ultrasound decreases by a factor of 2 after traveling a distance of 40 wavelengths. Each additional travel of 40 wavelengths results in a decrease by another factor of 2.

A physician is using Doppler ultrasound to measure the motion of a patient’s heart. The device measures the beat frequency between the emitted and the reflected waves. Increasing the frequency of the ultrasound will

A. Increase the beat frequency.

B. Not affect the beat frequency.

C. Decrease the beat frequency.
