Questions and Answers

What is the total distance traveled by ultrasound in echo-ranging if the speed of sound through seawater is v and the time interval between transmission and reception is t?

  • $2v \cdot t$ (correct)
  • $\frac{v}{t}$
  • $v + t$
  • $\frac{v}{2} \cdot t$

Why can't ordinary sound of longer wavelengths be used for echo-ranging purposes?

  • It travels too fast through seawater.
  • It gets absorbed by icebergs.
  • It reflects poorly from underwater hills.
  • It bends around corners and enters the detector. (correct)

What is echocardiography used for?

  • Reflecting ultrasonic waves from various parts of the heart. (correct)
  • Locating underwater hills.
  • Imaging the internal organs of the body.
  • Detecting abnormalities in the liver.
