Intensities
Chapter 5 in Edelman
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Intensity | A beam's power divided by it's area |
True or false: intensities may be reported in various ways with respect to time and space. | True |
True or false: the different measurements of intensities are important in the study of bioeffects. | True |
The most relevant intensity with respect to tissue heating is | SPTA (spacial peak temporal average) |
The units for all intensities are | Watts/cm squared |
True or false: because peak measurements are larger than average measurements, SPTP intensity has the highest value and SATA has the lowest value | True |
The SP/SA factor, also called the beam uniformity coefficient, is | Unitless with a value of 1 or greater |
The duty factor describes | the relationship of beam intensities with time, is unitless and has a value between 0 and 1. |
True or false: In continuous wave, there is no listening time, so pulse average and temporal average are the same. | True SPTA=SPPA and SATA=SAPA |
True or false: when pulsed and continuous wave sound beams have the same SPTP intensities, the continuous wave beam has the higher SPTA intensity. | True |
True or false: when pulsed and continuous wave sound beams have the same SATP intensities, the continuous wave beam has the higher SATA intensity. | True |
The rank of intensities from largest to smallest: | SPTP->Im->SPPA->SPTA->SATA |
