A medical ultrasound imaging system sends out a steady stream of very short pulses. To simplify analysis, the reflection of one

pulse should be received before the next is transmitted.
If the system is being used to create an image of tissue 15 cm below the skin, what is the minimum time between pulses?

Also how many pulses per second does this correspond to?

Answer:

Minimum time = 1.95x10^-4 s

Number of pulses = 5128.21 pulses/s

Explanation:

We have the speed of sound waves through human tissue with a value of 1540 m/s, to calculate the time it takes for the pulse to travel a distance of 30 cm (since the pulse will first travel a distance of 15 cm and then it will return another 15 cm to be detected by the equipment), therefore, the time between the two pulses will be equal to:

tminimum = 0.30 m/1540 m/s = 1.95x10^-4 s

To calculate the number of pulses, one second must be divided over the minimum time between the two pulses, as follows:

npulses = 1 s/1.95x10^-4 s = 5128.21 pulses/s

iren2701 [21]

Answer: As per the question, a ray of light is incident on a surface and it is partly reflected and refracted. The incident light is an unpolarised light. The reflected light is partially polarised.

If the angle of incidence becomes equal to the Brester angle (polarising angle), then the reflected light is completely plane polarised.

Which characeristic makes omasis different from diffusion.

 <span>haha I used to think biology was so hard, i find it quite easy now. 
Okay, so basically Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Diffusion is generally the movement of a gradient from higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis applies to water only, whereas diffusion, you have many types such as Passive transport [ movement of molecules from high- low, NO CELLULAR ENERGY needed! ] then you have faciliated diffusion ( basically uses a channel protein to allow big substances to go through the membrane : NO ENERGY needed] 
OSMOSIS, the important thing to remember is that water ALWAYS flow towards the region with the higher concentration of the solute (ex: Salt is solute, water is solvent) solute is the thing that is being dissolved. Solvent is the one doing the dissolving. Hope this helped!</span>
