Ultrasound with a frequency of 4.077 mhz can be used to produce images of the human body. if the speed of sound in the body is the same (2.31 km/s) as in salt water, what is the wavelength in the body? answer in units of m. 01

The frequency of the ultrasound is (converting in Hz)

while the speed of sound in the body is


We can calculate the wavelength of the ultrasound in the body by using the relationship betwen frequency, wavelength and speed of the wave:

An  atom  (ours, not carroll's) consists of a positively charged  nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called  electrons. the positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral. most of an atom's mass is in its nucleus; the mass of an electron is only 1/1836 the mass of the lightest nucleus, that of hydrogen. although the nucleus is heavy, it is quite small compared with the overall size of an atom. the radius of a typical atom is around 0.1 to 0.25 nanometres (nm), whereas the radius of a nucleus is about 10-6  nm.  *  if an atom were enlarged to the size of the earth, its nucleus would be only 200 feet in diameter and could easily rest inside a small football stadium.read more on -
