Explain how a battery in a circuit is similar to a water pump.

5 0

<span>A battery creates a potential difference, or voltage, which is really just storing electrical potential energy just as a pump would by moving water up against gravity, thereby storing gravitational potential energy. To complete the analogy, as current flows through the circuit, this potential energy is released and can be used by the components in the circuit. This is the same as water falling back down and turning some wheel or turbine and converting its gravitational potential energy into mechanical energy.</span>

Ultrasonic images are obtained from the inside organs of our body. This process uses which property of sound wave?

Temka [501]

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.
