What happens to an ultrasound ray when it hits a boundary?
XxFudgiexX
First off, Ultrasound is not a ray. Like all sound, its a wave. Ultrasound simply means its so low in pitch, its below the human hearing range.
When a sound wave hits a barrier, two things happen. The energy from the wave is partially absorbed into the barrier itself, which will now vibrate with that energy. Also, some of the energy from the wave is deflected, or bounced off.
Think of it as being how you can hear someone talk through a wall. Even though the sound waves are bouncing off the wall, and therefore a small room like a closet would amplify the sound, its still being transferred through the wall.

What happens when a ray of light falls on a pencil kept in the tumbler filled with water?
Nothing happens when the ray of light hits the pencil. But it bends when it crosses the boundary between the air and the water. Your brain ... thinking that the end of the pencil is in the same direction that the ray of light is coming from ... thinks that the part of the pencil under the water is in a place where it's not, so the pencil appears bent at the water line.

"Normal" means perpendicular to the boundary or reflecting surfaceat the point where the ray hits it.

Dose a ultrasound tech make more money than a xray tech?
No, Ultrasound is a specialty and requires more education than an x-ray tech.
What happens if light moves from a material in which its speed is lower to one in which its speed is higher the ray is bent away from the?
The ray bends away from the "normal" a line that runs perpendicular through the boundary of the two materials.
