ARDMS SPI EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
100% CORRECT ANSWERS
The horizontal axis, or x-axis - ANSWER- Runs side to side
The vertical axis, or y-axis - ANSWER- Runs up and down
Unrelated - ANSWER- Two items that are not associated
Related or Proportional - ANSWER- Two items that are associated or affiliated
However, the relationship between the items does not have to be specified
Directly related or Directly proportional - ANSWER- Two items that are associated such
that when one item increases, the other increases
Inversely related or inversely proportional - ANSWER- Two items are associated such
that when one item increases, the other decreases
Reciprocal Relationship - ANSWER- When two numbers with a reciprocal relationship
are multiplied together, the result is one
Reciprocal numbers are inverse because when one increases, the other decreases
For a numerical answer to a question to be comprehensive, it requires a - ANSWER-
Unit
"Increase by a factor" means - ANSWER- To multiply by that number
"Decrease by a factor" means - ANSWER- To divide by that number

Between 1 and 10
A number in scientific notation form with a negative exponent has a value - ANSWER-
Less than 1

Sound pulses travel through biologic tissue, or ______. - ANSWER- Media
All waves carry _____ from one location to another. - ANSWER- Energy
Sound is a __________ wave in which particles in the medium move. - ANSWER-
Mechanical
Sound cannot travel through a ______; it must travel through a ______. - ANSWER-
Vacuum, medium
What does compressed mean? - ANSWER- Squeezed together
What does rarefied mean? - ANSWER- Stretched apart
Sound travels in a ________ line. - ANSWER- Straight
Sound waves are ____________ waves. - ANSWER- Longitudinal
What is the propagation speed dependent on? - ANSWER- The medium
Are there any biologic effects on tissue? - ANSWER- No
Sound waves are identified by - ANSWER- Oscillations in acoustic variables
What are the three acoustic variables? (With their units) - ANSWER- pressure - pascals
(Pa), density - kg/cm^3, distance - cm, mm
If something other than pressure, density, or distance (particle motion) rhythmically
oscillates in a wave, then the wave... - ANSWER- Is not a sound wave
Sound waves are also known as - ANSWER- Acoustic waves
What are the seven Acoustic Parameters? - ANSWER- Period, frequency, amplitude,
power, intensity, wavelength, propagation speed
Particles move in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction that the wave
propagates in what wave? - ANSWER- Transverse wave
, Particles move in the same direction that the wave propagates in a ____________
wave. - ANSWER- Longitudinal
When are a pair of waves considered in-phase? - ANSWER- When their peaks and
troughs occur at the same time and at the same location
Considered "in step"
What happens when two waves are out-of-phase? - ANSWER- Their peaks occur at
different times, and so do their troughs
"out of step"
What is interference? - ANSWER- When more than one beam travels in a medium and
arrive at the same location at exactly the same time
These waves lose their individual characteristics and combine to form a single wave
The interference of in-phase waves results in a single wave of _________ amplitude.
This is called ___________. - ANSWER- Greater, constructive interference
(Larger Wave)
The interference of a pair of out-of-phase waves results in the formation of a single
wave of _____ amplitude. This combination is called _____________________. -
ANSWER- Lesser, destructive interference
(Smaller Wave)
When frequencies of waves differ, what kind of wave occurs? - ANSWER- Both
constructive and destructive interference
What do waves transfer from one location to another? - ANSWER- Energy
Two waves are traveling in a medium and arrive at a location at the same time. What
event takes place? - ANSWER- Interference
Which types of waves will exhibit both constructive and destructive interference? -
ANSWER- Waves of different frequency
What units are used to report the pressure of a sound beam? - ANSWER- Pascals, Pa
What describes features of a sound wave? - ANSWER- Parameters
What is the source of a sound wave? - ANSWER- The ultrasound system and the
transducer
Some parameters are determined by the tissue through which the sound is traveling,
also called a __________. - ANSWER- Medium
