T/F: A wave is a traveling variation in certain quantities.
True
The 4 acoustic variables are:
The number of complete cycles that occur in one second.
Frequency
5 Hz is equal to:
5 cycles per second.
3.5 MHz is equal to:
3,500,000
An increase in frequency results in:
Increased (better) resolution.
Decreased (less) penetration.
The operating frequency of an ultrasound machine is determined by the:
Transducer (crystal).
The Period of an ultrasound machine is determined by the:
Transducer (crystal).
The length of time it takes for one complete cycle to occur is the:
Period.
Frequency formula:
F = 1/P
Period formula:
P = 1/F
Frequency x Period =
1
