This question involves the concepts of echo, ultrasonic images, ultrasonic sound waves.

The process of ultrasonic images uses the "echo" property of the sound waves.

Echo is the property of the sound wave by the virtue of which the sound wave reflects back to the source of the sound after hitting a surface or an object.

Ultrasonic images are obtained from inside organs of our body. This process involves the use of ultrasonic sound waves that have a frequency greater than 20,000 Hz. These sound waves are out of the range of audible sound by the human ear. When these ultrasonic sound waves are sent in form of pulses into the human body by the use of probes, they reflect back from the tissues of different organs to the probe. The probe then records the reflection properties of these sound waves and displays them in form of an image, known as ultrasonic images.

Answer: Option <em>a.</em>

Explanation:

Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion states:

<em>A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.</em>

It tells us that it doesn't matter how far Earth is from the Sun, at equal times, the area swept out by Earth's orbit it's always the same independently from the position in the orbit.

What are the causes of mesosphere?

Rudiy27

Meteors are burning up in the mesosphere. The meteors make it through the exosphere and thermosphere without much trouble because those layers don't have much air. But when they hit the mesosphere, there are enough gases to cause friction and create heat.

An object has a mass of 120 kg on the moon. What is the force of gravity acting on the object on the

TiliK225 [7]

Weight of the 120kg mass object on the moon

It is a fact that the gravity on the Moon is (1/6)th that on the Earth.

Assuming g ≈ 10 m/s² on the earth.

W = m*(g moon) = 120 * (10/6) = 200N.

Weight on moon = 200N.

The object would weigh approximately 200N on the moon.. The force of gravity acting on the object on the moon is the same as the weight of the object on the moon.

The sound level at a distance of 1.48 m from a source is 120 dB. At what distance will the sound level be 70.7 dB?

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The second distance of the sound from the source is 431.78 m..

Explanation:

Given;

first distance of the sound from the source, r₁ = 1.48 m

first sound intensity level, I₁ = 120 dB

second sound intensity level, I₂ = 70.7 dB

second distance of the sound from the source, r₂ = ?

The intensity of sound in W/m² is given as;

$dB = 10 Log[\frac{I}{I_o} ]\\\\For \ 120 dB\\\\120 = 10Log[\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}}]\\\\12 = Log[\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}}]\\\\10^{12} = \frac{I}{1*10^{-12}}\\\\I = 10^{12} \ \times \ 10^{-12}\\\\I = 1 \ W/m^2$

$For \ 70.7 dB\\\\70.7 = 10Log[\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}}]\\\\7.07 = Log[\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}}]\\\\10^{7.07} = \frac{I}{1*10^{-12}}\\\\I = 10^{7.07} \ \times \ 10^{-12}\\\\I = 1 \times \ 10^{-4.93} \ W/m^2$

The second distance, r₂, can be determined from sound intensity formula given as;

$I = \frac{P}{A}\\\\I = \frac{P}{\pi r^2}\\\\Ir^2 = \frac{P}{\pi }\\\\I_1r_1^2 = I_2r_2^2\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{I_1r_1^2}{I_2} \\\\r_2 = \sqrt{\frac{I_1r_1^2}{I_2}} \\\\r_2 = \sqrt{\frac{(1)(1.48^2)}{(1 \times \ 10^{-4.93})}}\\\\r_2 = 431.78 \ m$

Therefore, the second distance of the sound from the source is 431.78 m.
