Answer:

0.54mm

Explanation:

Given the following :

Wavelength (λ) of Soundwave in air = 0.12mm

Velocity of sound wave (v) = 340m/s

Calculate the frequency (f) :

v = fλ

Wavelength to metres

1000mm = 1 m

0.12mm = (0.12/1000)m

= 0.00012m

v = fλ

340 = F * 0.00012

f = 340 / 0.00012

f = 2833333.3 Hz

Wavelength of Soundwave in the patient:

Velocity of sound wave through body tissue = 1540m/s

Therefore,

Using v = fλ

λ = v / f

λ = 1540 / 2833333.3

λ = 0.0005435m

λ = (0.0005435 * 1000)mm

λ = 0.5435mm = 0.54mm

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

C)T

Explanation:

The period of a mass-spring system is:

T=2\pi\sqrt\frac{m}{k}

As can be seen, the period of this simple harmonic motion, does not depend at all on the gravitational acceleration (g), neither the mass nor the spring constant depends on this value.

Ray Of Light [21]
<span>A change in the pressure of a gas results in a more significant change in volume than it would in a liquid.  is the statement that accurately describes the property of gas. Gas only depends on how you store it. the bigger the space the wider gas can expand, the smaller the space, the more compress the gas can become.</span>
