Question

A narrow beam of ultrasonic waves reflects off the liver tumor in the figure below. If the speed of the wave is 18.1% less in the liver than in the surrounding medium, determine the depth of the tumor.

The image depicts a cross-sectional diagram illustrating the reflection of ultrasound waves used for tumor detection. In the diagram: - A horizontal rectangular section represents the "Liver" tissue, beneath which lies another section labeled "Tumor." - An incoming ultrasound wave strikes the liver tissue at an angle and is reflected off the tumor. - The angle of incidence and reflection is marked as 50.0°. - The horizontal distance between the points where the ultrasound wave enters and exits the liver tissue is given as 12.0 cm. This diagram helps in understanding how ultrasound waves propagate through tissues and reflect off different structures, which is crucial in medical imaging for detecting abnormalities like tumors.
