Question

Electromagnetic and mechanical waves have different characteristics that make them advantageous for certain applications. Select the reasons that mechanical waves, such as ultrasound, are used for soft tissue imaging and to identify fractures in metals.
(its multiple choice )

mechanical waves are less likely to damage materials than most electromagnetic waves.


mechanical waves have more energy than electromagnetic waves


mechanical waves can transmit results more rapidly than electromagnetic waves


mechanical waves generate vibrations that are sensitive to changes in temperature and density

Answer 1

I think that the reasons that mechanical waves, such as ultrasound, are used for soft tissue imaging and to identify fractures in metals are because:

mechanical waves are less likely to damage materials than most electromagnetic waves.
