Ultrasound imaging is an important tool in animal medicine. The sketch above shows the setup for imaging a heart inside a dog, with an ultrasound transducer against the dog's torso directed up towards the heart. The ultrasound transducer emits ultrasound at a fixed frequency f. The velocity of sound in the body is v = 1500 m/s. Images are constructed from the time between emitting a pulse and detecting the reflected pulse with the same transducer. If the distance from skin to heart is 7.29 cm, calculate the time between emission and detection. (Units: ms, to 3 sig figs)

Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).

Question

Ultrasound imaging is an important tool in animal medicine. The sketch above shows the setup for
imaging a heart inside a dog, with an ultrasound transducer against the dog's torso directed up
towards the heart. The ultrasound transducer emits ultrasound at a fixed frequency f. The velocity of
sound in the body is v = 1500 m/s.
Images are constructed from the time between emitting a pulse and detecting the reflected pulse
with the same transducer. If the distance from skin to heart is 7.29 cm, calculate the time between
emission and detection. (Units: ms, to 3 sig figs)
