Question
Answer
show Period, frequency, amplitude, power, intensity, wavelength, and speed  
🗑
The parameters of sound wave are determined by 2 things   show
🗑
Definition of period   show
🗑
Typical ultrasound period   show
🗑
show Period is determined by the sound source only, not by the medium and is NOT adjustable  
🗑
show The number of particular events that occur in a specific duration of time. Reported in units per second  
🗑
show 2 Mhz to 15 Mhz or 2 million to 15 million per second  
🗑
show Frequency of a sound wave is determined by the sound source only, not by the medium and is NOT adjustable  
🗑
Audible sound frequency   show
🗑
Infrasonic frequency or infrasound   show
🗑
show Higher than 20,000 Hz (20 kHz)  
🗑
show Inversely; as frequency increases, period decreases; as frequency decreases, period increases. They are also reciprocal  
🗑
show Amplitude, power & intensity. These are the only parameters of the 7 that the sonographer can adjust.  
🗑
show Amplitude is the "bigness" of a wave. It is the difference between the maximum (or minimum) value and the average or undisturbed value of an acoustic variable. Reported in pascals  
🗑
show 1 million pascals to 3 million pascals or 1 Mpa to 3 Mpa  
🗑
Characteristics of pressure amplitude   show
🗑
show Power is the rate of energy transfer or the rate at which work is performed. Like amplitude, it describes the "bigness" of a wave. Reported in watts  
🗑
Typical ultrasound power   show
🗑
Characteristics of power   show
🗑
How are power and amplitude related?   show
🗑
Definition of intensity   show
🗑
show 0.01 to 300 W/cm squared  
🗑
Characteristics of intensity   show
🗑
show Intensity (W/cm squared) = power (W)/area (cm squared)  
🗑
How are power, amplitude and intensity related?   show
🗑
Definition of wavelength   show
🗑
Typical ultrasound wavelength   show
🗑
Characteristics of wavelength   show
🗑
The wavelength in soft tissue   show
🗑
How are frequency and wavelength related?   show
🗑
Propagation speed   show
🗑
show Speed is the only parameter determined by the medium ONLY and is NOT adjustable by the sonographer. The Stiffness and density of an object affect the speed of sound.  
🗑
show 1540 m/s or 1.54 mm/microsec or 1.54 km/s  
🗑
Stiffness   show
🗑
Density   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
