Wavelength of the ultrasound waves


a) A 1,720 Hz pure tone is played on a stereo in an open field. A person stands at a point that is 4 m from one of the speakers and 4.4 m from the other. Does the person hear the tone? Explain.

b) Ultrasound probes can resolve structural details with sizes approximately equal to the wavelength of the ultrasound waves themselves. What is the size of the smallest feature observable in human tissue when examined with 20 MHz ultrasound. The speed of sound in human tissue is 1,540 m/s.
