What are biologic effects?
Effects of the sound wave upon tissue that it passes through
26
What three factors distinguish a sound wave?
Pressure, density, distance
27
What is pressure?
Concentration of a force in an area, unit pascals
28
What is density?
Concentration of mass in a volume, unit kg/m^3, g/cm^3
29
What is distance?
Measure of particle motion
30
What are the seven acoustic parameters?
- period - frequency - amplitude - power - intensity - wavelength - propagation speed
31
What is period? Unit? Value range? Controlled by? Adjustable?
- amount of time for wave to vibrate one cycle - unit: time - range: 0.06-0.5 microseconds - controlled by source - not adjustable
32
What is frequency? Unit? Value range? Controlled by? Adjustable?
- number of wave cycles that occur within 1 second - units: units/second **Hz** - range: 2-15MHz - source - not adjustable
33
What is infrasound?
Frequency less than 20 Hz
34
What is audible sound?
Frequency between 20 Hz-20 kHz
35
What is ultrasound?
Frequency greater than 20 kHz
36
What is the relationship between period and frequency?
Inverse, reciprocal When frequency increases, period decreases
37
What is 1 hertz?
1cycle/second
38
If a wave has a period of 1/8 s, what is the frequency?
8 Hz
39
What are the 3 bigness parameters?
Amplitude, power, intensity Describe magnitude
40
What is amplitude? Unit? Value range? Controlled by? Adjustable?
- difference between max or min value and the average, scale size of wave - unit: pascal, density, distance, dB - range: 1MPa-3 MPa - controlled by source - can be initially adjusted
41
What happens to amplitude as sound propagates?
It decreases depending on wave and medium characteristics
42
What is power? Unit? Value range? Controlled by? Adjustable?
- rate of energy transfer - units: watts - range: 4-90 milliwatts - controlled by source - initially adjustable
43
What happens to amplitude when power increases
Amplitude increases
44
Power is proportional to
Amplitude^2
45
What is intensity? Unit? Value range? Controlled by? Adjustable?
- Concentration of energy in a sound beam - unit: watts/cm^2 - range: 0.01-300 w/cm^2 - controlled by source - initially adjustable
46
Intensity is proportional to
Power and amplitude^2
47
What is wavelength? Unit? Value range? Controlled by? Adjustable?
- distance or length of one complete cycle - units: length - range: 0.1-0.8 mm - controlled by source and medium - not adjustable
48
Wavelength is the only parameter that is
Controlled by both source and medium
49
What is the difference between wavelength and period?
Wavelength is the distance of 1 cycle, period is the time to complete 1 cycle
50
What is the relation between wavelength and frequency?
Inverse When frequency increases, wavelength decreases
51
What is the wavelength of sound with a frequency of 1 MHz in soft tissue?
1.54 mm
52
How do you find the wavelength of a sound wave?
1.54 mm/microsecond divided by frequency
53
What is an in-phase wave?
Peaks and troughs of two waves occur at same time and same location
54
What is an out-of-phase wave?
Peaks and troughs occur at different times
55
What is interference?
Multiple sound beams arrive at the same location at the same time and combine to form one wave
56
What is constructive interference?
In-phase waves form one wave with greater amplitude
57
What is destructive interference?
Out-of-phase waves form one wave with lesser amplitude
58
What is complete destructive interference?
Two out of phase waves with equal amplitude cancel each other out
59
What kind of interference happens to waves with different frequencies?
They are in and out of phase at different times so both constructive and destructive interference occur
60
What is propagation speed? Unit? Value range? Controlled by? Adjustable?
- rate that sound wave travels through a medium - units: distance/time - range: 500-4000 m/s - controlled by medium
61
What is the propagation speed of sound in soft tissue?
1540 m/s
62
How do you calculate speed?
Frequency x wavelength
63
What is stiffness? How does it affect speed?
- the ability of an object to resist compression - stiffer material = faster speed
64
What is density? How does it affect speed?
- relative weight of a material - inverse relation - denser material = decreased speed
65
If two media are equally stiff, the denser medium has a ______ speed.
Lower
66
What allows sound to travel fastest?
Stiff and not dense medium ex. Bone
67
What causes speed to travel at the slowest speed?
Not stiff and very dense medium
68
What has the biggest influence on speed?
Stiffness
