Expectant mothers many times see their unborn child for the first time during an ultrasonic examination. In ultrasonic imaging,
1 answer:
Answer:
<em>380 kHz</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
The speed of sound is taken as 1500 m/s
The length of the fetus is 1.6 cm long
The condition is that the wavelength used must be at most 1/4 of the size of the object that is to be imaged.
For this 1.6 cm baby, the wavelength must not exceed
λ = of 1.6 cm =
x 1.6 cm = 0.4 cm =
0.4 cm = 0.004 m this is the wavelength of the required ultrasonic sound.
we know that
v = λf
where v is the speed of a wave
λ is the wavelength of the wave
f is the frequency of the wave
f = v/λ
substituting values, we have
f = 1500/0.004 = 375000 Hz
==> 375000/1000 = 375 kHz ≅ <em>380 kHz</em>

Answer:
The magnitude of the flux of electric field through a square of surface area is zero.
Explanation:
It is given that square box is parallel to yz-plane which has normal vector perpendicular to plane in x-direction. Angle between normal vector of area and electric field is 90°. Substituting in (1)
