In addition to producing images, ultrasound can be used to heat tissues of the body fortherapeutic purposes. An emitter is placed against the surface of the skin; the amplitude ofthe ultrasound wave at this point is quite large. When a sound wave hits the boundarybetween soft tissue and bone, most of the energy is reflected. The boundary acts like theclosed end of a tube, which can lead to standing waves. Suppose 0.70 MHz ultrasound isdirected through a layer of tissue with a bone 0.55 cm below the surface. Will standing wavesbe created? Explain.

We have to determine weather the standing waves are created. Given that, L=0.55 cmfm=0.70 MHz

Two loudspeakers, 1.7 m apart, emit sound waves with the same frequency along the positive x-axis. Victor, standing on the axis to the right of the speakers, hears no sound. As the frequency is slowly tripled, Victor hears the sound go through the sequence loud-soft-loud-soft-loud before becoming quiet again. What was the original sound frequency? Assume room temperature of 20∘C.
