Question

A 5 Mhz ultrasound beam in soft tissue reflects off an object 5 cm deep. The time required to receive the echo at the transducer

Answer 1

The time required to receive the echo at the transducer is
`t=3.34* 10^(-10)\ s`

Step-by-step explanation:

Frequency of ultrasonic beam, f = 5 MHz

It reflects off an object 5 cm deep.

We need to find the time required to receive the echo at the transducer. The ultrasonic wave is an electromagnetic wave. it moves with a speed of light. Let t is the time taken by the wave to go once.

So,

`t=(d)/(c)`

`t=(0.05\ m)/(3* 10^8\ m/s)`

`t=1.67* 10^(-10)\ s`

Time to receive the echo at the transducer gets doubled. So,

`t=3.34* 10^(-10)\ s`

Hence, this is the required solution.
