Term | Definition |
The normal range of periods in cardiac echo is | .1 to 1 microsecond |

The sound waves with the shortest periods are: | ultrasound |
Mm | Wavelength |
Microsecond | T |
MHz | F |
M/sec | V |
In comparing to sound waves, if the velocity is the same for both, then the wave with a short period will have a: | Short wavelength |
As sound passes through the body, which of the following remains constant? | Period |
True or false: then crystals produce waves with short periods | true |
True or falsev period is directly related to frequency | False |
True or false: period decreases steadily as sound travels through the body | False |
True: False :Waves with long periods produce better quality images | False |
How is it possible to change the period of a wave during a diagnostic medical ultrasound procedure? | Change to a transducer with a different crystal thickness |
If the period of a sound wave is measured in microseconds, then its complementary unit in frequency will be in | Megahertz |
The reciprocal of period is | Frequency |
List the period of a wave whose frequency is 5 megahertz | 0.2 microsecond |
If the period of a sound wave is .1 microseconds at a penetration depth of 5 millimeters, than the period at 10 millimeters is | .1 microsecond |
A transducer with a period of 0.5 microsecond has a wavelength of | .77mm |
High resolution is produced by ultrasound waves with | Short periods |
A wavelength of 0.6 millimeters would have what period? | 0.39 microsecond |
If the frequency of wave a is 10 times the frequency of wave B then the period of wave is blank the period of wave B | 1/10; one tenth |
The period Of an ultrasound wave is determined by the | Crystal |

Amplitude cannot be determined using known variables for: | Velocity, wavelength, period, frequency |
Piezo-electric crystal thicknesses range from 0.1 to 1 millimeter. The 0.1 millimeter crystal would give the | Highest frequency |
Using high frequency ultrasound compared to low frequency results in | Better resolution |
If a wavelength equals 0.9 millimeters, find the frequency | 1.7 megahertz |
If frequency equals 10 megahertz, find the period | 0.1 microseconds |
If wavelength equals 0.4 millimeters, find the period. | 0.26 microseconds |
If the period Equals 0.4 microseconds, find the wavelength. | .62 mm |
If the. Equals 0.3 microseconds, find the frequency | 3.3 megahertz |
Two similar waves that intersect and result in a larger waves are an example of | Constructive interference |
Two waves of ultrasound arrive at the same location and interfere. The amplitude of the resulting wave is smaller than either of the two original waves therefore the : | Two waves were out of phase |
A longitudinal wave is characterized by: | Particle motion occurring in the same direction as the propagation of the wave |
The difference between audible sound waves and ultrasound waves is that | Ultrasound has a higher frequency than audible sound |
