steel is approximately - correct answer ✔1:4
when using Focus transducers non symmetry and a propagated sounding
may be caused by - correct answer ✔lens centering or misalignment

that is polarized - correct answer ✔perpendicular to the direction of
propagation and at 45° to the entry surface and 45 degrees to the normal to
the entry surface
on in A- scan display what represents the intensity of a reflected beam -
correct answer ✔signal amplitude
as transducer diameter decreases the beam spread - correct answer
✔increases
