Calculate the minimum frequency of ultrasound (in Hz) that will allow you to see details as small as 0.193 mm in human tissue. (

Assume the speed of sound through human tissue is 1540 m/s.) What is the effective depth to which this sound is effective as a diagnostic probe?

Answer:

f = 7.97 x 10⁶ Hz = 7.97 MHz

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by the following formula:

v = f\lambda

where,

v = speed of the ultrasound wave through human tissue = 1540 m/s

f = frequency of ultrasound wave required = ?

λ = wavelength of ultrasound waves = smallest detail required = 0.193 mm

λ = 0.193 mm = 1.93 x 10⁻⁴ m

Therefore,

1540\ m/s = f(1.93\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m)\\f = \frac{1540\ m/s}{1.93\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m}

<u>f = 7.97 x 10⁶ Hz = 7.97 MHz</u>

spayn [35]
This topic is actually quite controversial, but the answer in this case would be C. 

Just some food for thought, the 2nd law of thermodynamics entropy of the universe is always increasing, but that doesn't necessarily mean that earth's entropy has to. As long as the net change in entropy of the universe is increasing it doesn't matter if one planet is decreasing a nominal amount. Next, Earth as said is not a closed system and you could argue that the sunlight and energy from the sun is increasing the total energy within the system that is earth meaning that it is increasing in entropy. Next, if you consider increasing entropy as an increase in the number of possible permutations that the universe or parts of the universe can take, then it is completely possible that an ordered planet and life is possible, although rare. This theory explains why there are so many life forms and why entropy is actually increasing when divergent evolution occurs.

Could a person at the south pole see the north star, explain?? ​
9966 [12]

Answer:

If conditions are just right, you can see Polaris from just south of the equator.  Although Polaris is also known as the North Star, it doesn't lie precisely above Earth's North Pole. If it did, Polaris would have a declination of exactly 90 degree.
