Definition of Wavelength? - ANSWER The length of one cycle.
-Denoted by (Lamda)
Unit for Wavelength? - ANSWER m, cm, mm
Definition of Propagation Speed? - ANSWER The speed at which sound travels
through a medium
,Unit for Propagation Speed? - ANSWER m/s or mm/microseconds
Propagation Speed depends on? - ANSWER Density, Stiffness.
Definition of Density? - ANSWER Concentration of matter.
-Inversely related to prop speed.
Definition of Stiffness aka "Bulk Modulus"? - ANSWER The resistance of a
medium to compression.
-Stiffness is directly proportional to speed.
What are the two types of Ultrasound Waves? - ANSWER 1.) Electromagnetic -
Wave travels through a vacuum.
2.) Mechanical - Wave must travel through a medium.
What are two kinds of Mechanical Waves? - ANSWER A.) Transverse
B.) Longitudinal
