5 Questions
Which type of incidence occurs when the incident beam strikes the media boundaries at a 90° angle?
Perpendicular Incidence
What happens to the transmitted beam in Perpendicular Incidence?
It continues on through the tissue
Which factor is directly related to the amount of reflection that occurs in Perpendicular Incidence?
Impedance of the media
What is the critical angle in 2D imaging?
The angle of total reflection
When does 100% reflection occur in Perpendicular Incidence?
When the incident angle is 90 degrees
Test your knowledge on perpendicular incidence, also known as normal incidence or orthogonal incidence. Explore the concepts of beam reflection and wave return to the transducer. Learn about the characteristics of the incident beam in relation to media boundaries and the transmission of the beam through tissue. Gain insights into the direct relationship between impedance and the amount of reflection.
