- E. per day
Correct Answer

A. A. cycles

Explanation

The term "cycles" is not a standard unit of frequency. Frequency is typically measured in hertz (Hz) or cycles per second. While "cycles" is often used informally to describe the number of repetitions or oscillations in a periodic waveform, it is not a recognized unit of frequency in scientific or technical contexts. Therefore, option A cannot be considered a unit of frequency.

Rate this question:
23.

How are period and frequency related?
- A. directly
- B. directly proportional
- C. inversely
- D. unrelated
Correct Answer

A. C. inversely

Explanation

Period and frequency are inversely related. This means that as the period increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa. The period refers to the time it takes for one complete cycle of a wave or oscillation to occur, while the frequency represents the number of cycles or oscillations that occur in a given time period. Since the period and frequency are reciprocals of each other, they have an inverse relationship.

What is the range of frequencies emitted by transducers used in diagnostic ultrasound?
- A. 1 kHz to 10 kHz
- B. 1 MHz to 7MHz
- C. -10 kHz to 10 kHz
- D. 2 MHz to 10 MHz
Correct Answer

A. D. 2 MHz to 10 MHz

Explanation

Transducers used in diagnostic ultrasound emit frequencies within the range of 2 MHz to 10 MHz. This range is commonly used in medical imaging as it provides a good balance between image resolution and tissue penetration. Frequencies below 2 MHz may provide better tissue penetration but lower resolution, while frequencies above 10 MHz may offer higher resolution but limited tissue penetration. Therefore, the range of 2 MHz to 10 MHz is considered optimal for most diagnostic ultrasound applications.

Explanation

The wavelength of a sound wave in a medium is given by the formula λ = v/f, where λ is the wavelength, v is the velocity of sound in the medium, and f is the frequency of the sound wave. In soft tissue, the velocity of sound is approximately 1540 m/s. Therefore, for a 2 MHz sound wave, the wavelength can be calculated as λ = 1540 m/s / 2 × 10^6 Hz = 0.77 mm.

Rate this question:
31.

If the area of the beam increases, what happens to the intensity?
- A. it increases
- B. It decreases
- C. It remains the same
Correct Answer

A. B. It decreases

Explanation

Wavelength is determined by:
- A. the source
- B. the medium
- C. the source and the medium
Correct Answer

A. C. the source and the medium

Explanation

The wavelength of a wave is determined by both the source and the medium through which it travels. The source of the wave determines the frequency of the wave, which is the number of complete cycles of the wave that occur in a given time. The medium through which the wave travels affects the speed of the wave, which in turn affects the wavelength. Therefore, both the source and the medium play a role in determining the wavelength of a wave.

Rate this question:

Sound travels fastest through tissue that is:
- A. less dense but more stiff
- B. less dense but less stiff
- C. more dense but more stiff
- D. more dense but less stiff
Correct Answer

A. A. less dense but more stiff

Explanation

Sound travels fastest through tissue that is less dense but more stiff because the speed of sound is inversely proportional to the density of the medium and directly proportional to the stiffness. In other words, when the tissue is less dense, the sound waves encounter fewer particles to interact with, allowing them to travel faster. Additionally, when the tissue is more stiff, the particles are held tightly together, allowing the sound waves to propagate more quickly. Therefore, a combination of less density and more stiffness allows sound to travel fastest through tissue.
