Ultrasound probe emitting sound with wave length of 70 mm in air (sound speed 343 m/s) is used for probing a muscle tissue (sound speed 1500 m/s). What are the smallest features in air and the muscle tissue that can be seen with this device?

Solutions

Expert Solution

As, wavelength = speed/frequency

Here, frequency = 343/0.07

= 4900 Hz

Thus, the smallest features in air = 1500/4900

= 0.3061 m

= 306.12 mm

a) Kinetic theory. The speed of sound in the air is 330 m/s under standard conditions of temperature and pressure (273 K and 1 atm). Since the size of a molecule is much smaller than the average distance between the molecules, this number provides an estimate of the order of magnitude of the molecular media velocity. Consider a cubic meter of air and concentrate it on a N2 molecule that travels in the x direction at 330 m / s....
