A hospital uses an ultrasonic scanner to locate tumours in a tissue. What is the wavelength of sound in the tissue in which the speed of sound is 1.7kms-1? The operating frequency of the scanner is 4.2MHz. |

Answer» λ = ? u = 1.7kms-1 = 1700ms-1 v = 4.2 × 106 Hz, u = vλ = or λ = \(\frac{u}{v}\) or λ =\(\frac{1700}{4.2×10^6}\) m = 4.05 × 10-4 m = 0.405mm. |
