FInal part I Flashcards
- 25 million Hz, another way to write it?
2.5 x 10 ^ 7 or 25MHz
- What do we call a sound that is below the audible range?
Infrasound
- Know about which items are determined by the sound source
Frequency, Period, amplitude, intensity, power
- Which would be determined by medium and sound
Wavelength
- Determined only by the medium?
Propagation speed
- Acoustic variables?
Density, Distance, Pressure
- Going to have some choices for frequency and which ones has the longest wave length
Lowest frequency has the longest wavelength.
- If the intensity remains the same, the power is doubled, what happens to beam area?
Doubles. I = P/A
- What term describes the start of the pulse to the end of the pulse?
Pulse duration
- What kind of scale has dB, mathematical representation?
Logarithmic, relative scale that requires two intensities.
- Every 3 dB means the intensity will do what?
Double
- Initial intensity is less than normal intensity the gain is what?
Positive
- Rayleigh scattering is related to?
Frequency to the 4th.
- In soft tissue, attenuation coefficient is directly related to what?
Frequency
- Lots of questions on attenuation and speed? Which media will have the greatest attenuation and which doesn’t
Air>bone>muscle >soft tissue>blood>water
- 2 PZT, same material, thicker will make a pulse transducer with?
Lower frequency and slower speeds
- PZT exceeds the curie point what happens to the PZT?
Depolarization
- What are the other names for PZT
Ceramic,active element, crystal, lead zirconate titanate
- Which component of the transducer reduces the ringing of the pulse?
Backing material
- Which crystal will produce sound with the lowest frequency?
Thicker
- Damping material improves what resolution?
Longitudinal resolution page 126 question 9 on the Q and A (Harley S.)
- Damping material improves what resolution?
Longitudinal resolution page 126 question 9 on the Q and Q (Harley S.)
- If the frequency of the electrical citation of the voltage in a pulsed wave transducer is 6 hertz, what is the operating frequency of the transducer?
In pulsed wave transducers, the frequency of sound is not determined by the electrical signal.
- Impedance of a transducer of the active element is … rayls, to the skin is …. Rayls, what would be the acceptable matching layer?
Between the PZT and skin.
24.. Which transducer component has a thin barrier of cork or rubber and isolates the internal components from the transducers case
Acoustic Insulator (JL p 115)
- Which component of trans increases the efficiency of sound energy transfer of the active element in the body
Maching layer
- Frequency and near zone length are related in what way?
directly
- Two trans have the same diameter the first probe has a 6Mhz frequency and second has 8Mhz freq which beam will have a shallower focus
6 MHz, smaller diameter, lower frequency
- Which of the following probes will create a beam with the least divergence
. For least divergence we will see larger diameter crystals and higher frequency p 140 box
- Which probe will have more divergence
A probe that has a smaller diameter crystal and a low frequency will create more divergence pg 140 box
- What determines the freq of sound created by a pulsed wave transducer?
The active element the speed of sound in PZT and the thickness of the PZT
- What determines the focal length of sound beam
The characteristics of the active element, transducer diameter and the freq of sound
- Which of the transducer has the best lateral resolution in the far field
Larger diameter crystals improve lateral resolution in the far field p 139
- Sound beam is created by round PZT of diameter of 10mm the focal depth is 8cm what diameter is the sound beam at the depth of 8cm
a. 5mm the diameter is half at the focal depth of 8. Because it is in the middle p 134
