Chapter 2: Q4E (page 497)

15.4. BIO Ultrasound Imaging. Sound having frequencies above the range of human hearing (about 20,000 Hz) is called ultrasound. Waves above this frequency can be used to penetrate the body and to produce images by reflecting from surfaces. In a typical ultrasound scan, the waves travel through body tissue with a speed of 1500 m/s . For a good, detailed image, the wavelength should be no more than 1.0 mm. What frequency sound is required for a good scan?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The frequency of sound wave is 1.5脳10-6Hz.

Step by step solution

01

STEP 1:The frequency of sound wave concept.

The quantity of waves passing through a fixed place in a unit of time is referred to as frequency.

The frequency of the wave is given by

位=vf

Here,位is the wavelength of the wave, v is the speed of sound., f is the frequency of wave.

02

To calculate the frequency of the sound wave

Consider the given data as below.

The velocity, v=1500m/s

The wavelength, 位=1.0mm

The ultrasound waves travel with a speed of 1500 m/s to scan the body with a wavelength of around 1.0mm, Frequency of the sound wave is given by

位=vf

Substitute 1500m/s for v and 1.0mm for 位in the above equation.

f=v位=1500m/s1.0mm=1500m/s1.0mm10-3m1mm=1.5脳10-6Hz

Therefore, the frequency of sound wave is 1.5脳10-6Hz.

18 A 1.50m string of weight 0.0125N is tied to the ceiling at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Ignore the very small variation in tension along the length of the string that is produced by the weight of the string. When you pluck the string slightly, the waves traveling up the string obey the equation

y (x, t) = (8.50 mm) cos (172 rad/mx 4830 rad/s t)

Assume that the tension of the string is constant and equal to W. (a) How much time does it take a pulse to travel the full length of the string? (b) What is the weight W? (c) How many wavelengths are on the string at any instant of time? (d) What is the equation for waves traveling down the string?

If you stretch a rubber band and pluck it, you hear a (somewhat) musical tone. How does the frequency of this tone change as you stretch the rubber band further? (Try it!) Does this agree with Eq. (15.35) for a string fixed at both ends? Explain.

A violinist is tuning her instrument to concert A (440鈥�Hz). She plays the note while listening to an electronically generated tone of exactly that frequency and hears a beat frequency of 3鈥�Hz, which increases to 4鈥�Hzwhen she tightens her violin string slightly. (a) What was the frequency of the note played by her violin when she heard the3鈥�Hz beats? (b) To get her violin perfectly tuned to concert A, should she tighten or loosen her string from what it was when she heard the 3鈥�Hzbeats?

Question: Energy Delivered to the Ear. Sound is detected when a sound wave causes the tympanic membrane (the eardrum) to vibrate. Typically, the diameter of this membrane is about 8.4 mm in humans. (a) How much energy is delivered to the eardrum each second when someone whispers (20 dB) a secret in your ear? (b) To comprehend how sensitive the ear is to very small amounts of energy, calculate how fast a typical 2.0-mg mosquito would have to fly (in mm/s) to have this amount of kinetic energy.

Two identical loudspeakers are located at points A and B, 2.00 m apart. The loudspeakers are driven by the same amplifier and produce sound waves with a frequency of 784 Hz. Take the speed of sound in air to be 344 m/s. A small microphone is moved out from point Balong a line perpendicular to the line connecting Aand B(line BC in Fig. P16.65). (a) At what distances from Bwill there be destructiveinterference? (b) At what distances from Bwill there be constructiveinterference? (c) If the frequency is made low enough, there will be no positions along the line BCat which destructive interference occurs. How low must the frequency be for this to be the case?
