Q

You are given 5 substances:

backing material, PZT, matching layer, gel, skin

five impedances of:

0.8 Mrayls, 1.9 Mrayls, 1.6 Mrayls, 2.0 Mrayls, 1.0 Mrayls

If the impedance of the backing material is 1.9 Mrayls, what are the impedances of the other four?

A

The impedance of the active layer is similar to the backing material, so:

backing material-1.9Mrayls

PZT-2.0Mrayls

matching layer-1.6Mrayls

gel-1.0Mrayls

skin-0.8Mrayls

in order of the course of the energy from the PZT through the skin
