If the deepest structure you wish to image is 10.0cm from the transducer, what is the maximum number of pulses per second that can be emitted? (a) 3850; (b) 7700; (c) 15400; (d) 1,000,000 .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is (b)7700 s1 .

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Distance of object from transducer is 10cm.

02

The Frequency

The number of pulses generated every second, is called frequency. Which is given as f=1t

Here, t is the time period of a pulse.

03

Number Of Pulses Per Second

The pulses travel distance 10cm then back to the transducer due to the reflection, so the total distance is d=20cm. We are given the velocity through the tissue by v=1540m/s.

f=1t=vd

Plug the values for v and d to get f-

f=1520 m/s0.20 m=7700 s1

Therefore, the maximum number of pulses is 7700 s1.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Is it possible to have a longitudinal wave on a stretched string? Why or why not? Is it possible to have a transverse wave on a steel rod? Again, why or why not? If your answer is yes in either case, explain how you would create such a wave.

Singing in the Shower. A pipe closed at both ends can have standing waves inside of it, but you normally don’t hear them because little of the sound can get out. But you can hear them if you are inside the pipe, such as someone singing in the shower. (a) Show that the wavelengths of standing waves in a pipe of length L that is closed at both ends are λ0=2L/nand the frequencies are given by f0=nv4Lnf1, where n = 1, 2, 3, c.(b) Modelling it as a pipe, find the frequency of fundamental and the first two overtones for a shower 2.50 m tall. Are these frequencies audible?

How fast (as a percentage of light speed) would a star have to be moving so that the frequency of the light we receive from it is 10.0% higher than the frequency of the light it is emitting? Would it be moving away from us or toward us? (Assume it is moving either directly away from us or directly toward us.)

Two small stereo speakers are driven in step by the same variable-frequency oscillator. Their sound is picked up by a microphone. For what frequencies does their sound at the speakers produce (a) constructive interference and (b) destructive interference?

For transverse waves on a string, is the wave speed the same as the speed of any part of the string? Explain the difference between these two speeds. Which one is constant?
