Q
Pulse-Echo Techniques
A
Pulse of speed v is emitted, travels a distance x, reflects off an object and travels back in a time t. Equation can be used to find v, d or t: v=2x/t

Q
Scan Resolution
A
Detail recorded is limited by wavelength and pulse time. The shorter the better to reduce diffraction and interference
