Question

Diagnostic ultrasound of frequency 3.45 MHz is used to examine tumors in soft tissue.

(a) What is the wavelength in air of such a sound wave?
(b) If the speed of sound in tissue is 1500 m/s, what is the wavelength of this wave in tissue? (Take the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s.)

    Answer:

    4.35×10⁻⁴ m

    Explanation:

    (a)

    From wave,

    v = λf…………………. Equation 1

    Where v = speed of sound in air, λ = wavelength of sound, f = frequency of sound.

    Make λ the subject of formula in  equation 1

    λ = v/f…………….. Equation 2

    Given: v = 343, f = 3.45 MHz = 3.45×10⁶ Hz

    Substitute into equation 2

    λ = 343/(3.45×10⁶)

    λ = 99.42×10⁻⁶ m

    λ = 9.942×10⁻⁵ m

    (b)

    using,

    v’ = λ’f…………… Equation 3

    Where v’ = speed of sound in tissue, λ’ = wavelength of sound in tissue.

    make λ’ the subject of the equation

    λ’ = v’/f………………….Equation 4

    Given: v’ = 1500 m/s, f = 3.45 MHz = 3.45×10⁶ Hz

    Substitute into equation 4

    λ’ = 1500/(3.45×10⁶)

    λ’ = 434.783×10⁻⁶

    λ’ ≈ 4.35×10⁻⁴ m.
