Which of the following do the source and the medium determine?




a. duty factor

b. frequency

c. propagation speed

d. axial resolution - ANSWER✔✔-d.

Axial resolution is affected by all of the following EXCEPT

d. focusing - ANSWER✔✔-d.

Damping in a transducer




a. reduces the number of cycles in a pulse and increases the quality factor

b. increases the number of cycles in a pulse and increases penetration

c. causes poor axial and lateral resolution
