What is the instrument that uses the reflection of the acoustic wave called?

An instrument that uses the reflection of an acoustic wave is called an ultrasound machine. This technology is commonly used in medical imaging to create pictures of the inside of the body.


Why are ultrasound waves partly reflected by body organs?

Ultrasound waves are reflected by body organs due to differences in acoustic impedance at tissue boundaries. When ultrasound waves encounter a boundary between tissues with different densities, some of the wave energy reflects back while some continues through, resulting in echoes that are used to create an ultrasound image.


Is an ultrasound wave mechanical vibrating energy?

Yes, an ultrasound wave is a type of mechanical wave that carries vibrating energy through a medium, such as air or water. Ultrasound waves consist of high-frequency sound waves that are above the audible range for humans. These waves are commonly used in medical imaging to visualize internal structures of the body.


Do tranveerse and longittudinal waves reflect?

Yes, both transverse and longitudinal waves can reflect off boundaries between different mediums or materials. The reflection behavior depends on the properties of the medium and the angle at which the wave strikes the boundary.


What are the key ultrasound physics formulas used in medical imaging technology?

The key ultrasound physics formulas used in medical imaging technology include the speed of sound in tissue, the frequency of the ultrasound wave, and the wavelength of the ultrasound wave. These formulas help determine the depth of tissue penetration and image resolution in ultrasound imaging.

What is ultrasound refrigeration?

Ultrasound or thermoacoustic refrigeration uses a resonating sound wave to induce a thermal gradient.


Explain how bat uses ultrasound to find its prey?

Bats, as one may know, are blind, and to find it's prey (food) it causes ultrasound, which is invisible of course, imagine a wave, in the ocean, the waves hit something, and the wave is directed back to where it came from, and anything the wave does not hit, continues. That is how bats use ultrasound to hunt.

Is ultrasound a transverse or longitudinal wave?

Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.


How can Ultrasound be used to measure the Depth of Sea Water?

an ultrasound wave is beamed down from a boat and then the wave bounces back from the seabed to a reciever. the longer the wave takes, the deeper the water.

Is an ultrasound wave a mechanical wave or an elastic wave or both?

An ultrasound wave (or any other sound wave) is mechanical energy, and can be said to be a mechanical wave. Waves are not elastic. The term elastic may be applied to the medium through which they travel. There are compression and shear forces (among others) that work on the medium, and the medium may present a more or less elastic response.


what are two ways in which ultrasound technology produces images?

By using sound in frequencies that reflect off body tissues. By measuring the time it takes for the reflected sound wave to be detected. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) (I made a smiley face man :D)
