39
Q

the LONGER the wavelength the ___ the frequency

A

lower

40

41
Q

wavelength formula

A

(1.54mm/us) / (frequency in MHz)

42
Q

short wavelength = ___ freq = __ resolution

A

high frequency = better resolution

1540m/s

44
Q

the rate at which a sound wave travels through a medium

propagation speed

45
Q

propagation speed is determined by

A

ONLY THE MEDIUM

46
Q

t/f: all acoustic waves travel at the same speed through a particular medium (the same medium)

48
Q

formula for speed

Q

pulse duration formula

A

cycles in each pulse * period

69

directly 
-number of cycles 
-period 
indirectly

what characteristics would increase the PD (pulse duration)?

A
  1. long periods

2. many cycles in 1 pulse

71
Q

what type of pulse is more desirable in medical imaging - long or short duration, why?

A

-short duration is more desirable because create images of greater accuracy & resolution (bc short pd = short period = higher freq)

72
Q

the distance that a pulse occupies in space from the start to the end

A

spatial pulse length

73
Q

what is SPL determined by

A

BOTH the sound source and medium
