Chapter 2: Q81PP (page 543)

For cranial ultrasound, why is it advantageous to use frequencies in the kHz range rather than the MHz range?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is there will be no standing waves at the lower frequencies.

Step by step solution

01

Nodes and Antinodes

The antinodes are formed at points of constructive interference and the nodes are formed at points of destructive interference.

The distance between the node is related to the wavelength as

d=苍位2=nv2f

02

calculation

As shown by this equation, the distance d is inversely proportional to the frequencyf . So, as fdecreases, the distance increases and vice versa. Therefore, forming waves larger than 0.77mm is difficult. So, using 1kHZfrequencies is better than using 1MHz.

Hence, there will be no standing waves at the lower frequencies.

Two train whistles, A and B, each have a frequency of 393Hz. A is stationary and B is moving toward the right (away from A) at a speed of 35m/s. A listener is between the two whistles and is moving toward the right with a speed of 15m/s. No wind is blowing. (a) What is the frequency from A as heard by the listener? (b) What is the frequency from B as heard by the listener? (c) What is the beat frequency detected by the listener?

Consider a sound wave in air that has displacement amplitude 0.0200 mm. Calculate the pressure amplitude for frequencies of (a) 150 Hz; (b) 1500 Hz; (c) 15,000 Hz. In each case compare the result to the pain threshold, which is 30 Pa.

Small speakers A and B are driven in phase at 725 Hz by the same audio oscillator. Both speakers start out 4.50 m from the listener, but speaker A is slowly moved away (Fig. E16.34). (a) At what distance d will the sound from the speakers first produce destructive interference at the listener鈥檚 location? (b) If A is moved even farther away than in part (a), at what distance d will the speakers next produce destructive interference at the listener鈥檚

You live on a busy street, but as a music lover, you want to reduce the traffic noise. (a) If you install special sound reflecting windows that reduce the sound intensity level (in dB) by 30 dB, by what fraction have you lowered the sound intensity(W/m2)?(b) If, instead, you reduce the intensity by half, what change (in dB) do you make in the sound intensity level?

A light wire is tightly stretched with tension F. Transverse traveling waves of amplitude A and wavelength A鈧乧arry average power Pavg = 0.400 W. If the wavelength of the waves is doubled, so A鈧�= 2A鈧�, while the tension F and amplitude A are not altered, what then is the average power Pav,2 carried by the waves?
