Ultrasound can be used to examine body organs and systems including the heart, pancreas, urinary system, brain, spinal cord, bladder, and cysts. In females, it can be used to view the ovaries, peritoneal cavity, and a fetus in its amniotic sac. It can also be used to guide surgical procedures, for example during the insertion of a biopsy needle into a particular area. Doppler ultrasound is used to measure blood flow. Air, bone, and other calcified tissues absorb nearly all the ultrasound beam, so it cannot be used to examine the bones or lungs.

Explain how ultrasonic waves can be produced in the laboratory?

Ultrasonic waves can be produced in the laboratory using a device called an ultrasonic transducer. The transducer converts electrical energy into mechanical vibrations, which generate the ultrasonic waves. These waves can be used for various applications, including medical imaging, cleaning, and material testing.


How can you trace ultrasonic waves?

Ultrasonic waves can be traced using ultrasonic sensors that emit the waves and then detect their reflections. These sensors send out high-frequency sound waves that bounce off objects and return to the sensor, allowing for measurement of distance, presence, or motion based on the time it takes for the waves to return. By analyzing the wave reflections, it is possible to trace the path and interactions of ultrasonic waves.

Can ultrasonic wave pass through 1Cm thick iron plate?

No, ultrasonic waves will have difficulty passing through a 1cm thick iron plate due to the high density and thickness of the material. Iron is known to be a good reflector and attenuator of ultrasonic waves, making it an obstruction to their passage.
