Andreas93 [3]2 years ago
4 0

Mechanical waves can help in the treatment of cancer due to heat generated by the high frequency waves.

<h3>What is mechanical wave?</h3>

A mechanical wave is a wave that requires material medium for its propagation, example include;

  • water waves,
  • sound waves, and
  • seismic waves.

<h3> Mechanical waves in treatment of cancers</h3>

Sound wave in example of mechanical wave because it requires material medium for its propagation.

High-frequency sound waves (HIFU) is used in the  treatment  of cancer because the strong beam generates heat which is directed to a specific part of a cancer.

The heat generated destroys the cancer cells.

Thus, mechanical waves can help in the treatment of cancer due to heat generated by the high frequency waves.

I don’t understand the equations
inna [77]
So the equation is balanced, meaning they have the smallest amounts of each element in the reactants to create the products.

So, 2 moles of H2S (the coefficient) contributes to 2 moles Ag2S, which is why the ratio is 2:2.

I hope that made sense.
