An ultrasound machine in a hospital uses a sound source at 19.00000MHz.

  1. [3 marks] Assuming that the speed of the ultrasound in the body is same as water (1440 m/s), determine the wavelength in the body.
  2. [6 marks] If blood cells are moving towards the sound source at a speed of 0.8 m/s, at what frequency do the crests of the sound wave pass through the blood cell?
  3. [5 marks] What is the frequency of the sound waves reflected back towards the source by the blood cells?
  4. [6 marks]
    1. If the sound level intensity is 17.0 dB at a point d1 = 6.8 cm from the source, what is the sound intensity at that point in W/m2. (We can assume that 0 dB is referenced to 10-12 W/m2).
    2. Assume that sound is emitted from a point source, so that the intensity decreases quadratically with distance. What is the intensity level in dB at a point d2 = 2.0cm from the source?

Doppler ultrasound is used to measure the speed of blood flow. The reflected sound interferes with the emitted sound, producing beats. If the speed of red blood cells is 0.100 m/s, the ultrasound frequency used is 3.80 MHz, and the speed of sound in blood is 1570 m/s, what is the beat frequency? If the speed of the red blood cells is v, the speed of sound in blood is u, the ultrasound source emits waves of frequency f, and...
