An ultrasound imaging system is used to create a B-mode image of a soft-tissue sample. We want an image that extends to a depth of 30 cm from the transducer. Assume that 175 A-mode lines are used to create the B-mode image. a) How much time is required to acquire the data for each A-mode line? b) What is the maximum possible B-mode image refresh rate, in frames per second? c) Using the same refresh rate calculated above, what is the maximum depth possible if all A-mode lines are acquired simultaneously?

The Rayleigh criterion provides a convenient way to describe the theoretical resolution (e.g. an ability to distinguish objects ) of an optical system. The criterion states that two small bright sources of light can be resolved if the first d mìnimum of the image of one source point just coincides with of further apart then the first maximum of another (s Ho Your c below). A converging lens, 28.7 mm in diameter, is used to form images of distant objects. Considering the diffractio lens, what angular separation must two distant point objects have in order to satisfy Rayleigh's criterion?

On a floor, there are several 1-4 mm elongated drops leading away from a body lying in a pool of blood. On the forward wall there is a zigzag pattern and on the walls to the right side, there is a linear pattern of droplets parallel to the floor at about the victim's height. No other marks are found on the other walls. Which best
D) 2376 m/s During an Apollo moon landing, reflecting panels were placed on the moon. This allowed earth-based astronomers to shoot laser beams at the moon's surface to determine its distance. The reflected laser beam was observed 2.52 s after the laser pulse was sent. If the speed of light is 3.00x10 m/s, what was the distance between the astronomers and 10) the moon?

The observer in figure is positioned so that the far edge of the bottom of the empty glass (not to scale) is just visible. When the glass is filled to the top with water, the center of the bottom of the glass is just visible to the observer. Find the height, H, of the glass, given that its width is W=4.8cm. Express your answer using two significant figures.
Use the exact values you enter to make later calculations.A ray of light strikes a flat, 2.00-cm-thick block of glass (n = 1.96) at an angle of ? = 32.4° with respect to the normal (see figure below). A light ray incident on a glass block of thickness 2.00 cm is shown. The ray travels down and to the right and is incident to the top of the block at an angle ? to the normal of the surface. The ray inside the block moves down and to the right but at a steeper slope than the incident ray. It is incident on the bottom surface of the block and exits moving down and to the right, in the same direction as the incident ray. A dashed line extends from the original path of the ray down in the block and is shown to be a distance d from the ray that exits the glass block.

Lunar astronauts placed a reflector on the Moon’s surface, from which a laser beam is periodically reflected. The distance to the Moon is calculated from the round-trip time. What percent error is this, given the average distance to the Moon is 3.84 × 108 m?
Ray optics is based on the assumption that light travels in a straight line. Diffraction effects (observed when light propagates through small apertures/slits or around small obstacles) disprove this assumption. Yet the ray optics assumption is so commonly used in understanding location and several other properties of images in optical instruments. What is the ustification?
The vernier scale of a travelling microscope has 50 divisions which coincide with 49 main scale divisions. If each main scale division is 0.5 mm, calculate the minimum inaccuracy in the measurement of distance.
What is the smallest thing we can see? O smallest object that we can process with our eyes is limited to the size of the photoreceptor cells in the retina. In order for us to to distinguish any detail in an object, its image cannot be smaller cannot be smaller than a single retinal cell. Although the size depends on the type of cell (cone or rod), a diameter of of a few microns (mm) is common near the center of the eye. We should model the eye as a sphere 2.50 cm in diameter with a single slender lens in front and the retina behind, with photoreceptor cells 5.0 mm in diameter. (a) What is the smallest object object that you can perceive at a point near 25 cm? What angle is subtended by this object in the eye? Express your answer in units of minutes (1° 60 min) and compare it with the typical experimental value of about 1.0 min. (Note: there are other limitations, but we will ignore them here).
