Resource summary
ULTRASOUNDS
Sound = (mechanical) vibrations
Humans hear sound between 20Hz - 20,000 Hz
Any sound above 20,000 Hz = ULTRASOUND
USES
Pre-natal scanning
Checking on baby development
Checking for severe disabilities
Cleaning delicate machines
The liquid particles vibrate at high frequencies which clean the dirt
Breaking down kidney stones into smaller pieces
When ultrasounds meet a boundary, they are partially reflected
(pre-natal scanning) ultrasound waves reflect off baby tissue in womb and back into transducer, producing an image
Time taken for reflected wave to reach transducer tells us how far away boundary is
The results are processed to produce an image
FORMULA ALERT
S = V x T
S = Distance
V = Speed
T = Time
SOMETIMES DIVIDED BY TWO
Non - ionising do not damage living cells
Also produce accurate image of ultrasound
