1
Q
Acoustic Impedance
A
Z = ρc where ρ is the density of the material and c is the speed of ultrasound in the material
2
Q
Piezoelectric effect
A
The application of a p.d. across a material / crystal causes an expansion / vibration / contraction
3
Q
Acoustic impedance matching
A
The impedances of the media are similar
