    2 Ultrasonography (Characteristics)

    Uploaded by

    Shamsuzzaman Sharif
    This document discusses different frequency ranges of sound waves, including infrasonic below 20 Hz, audible between 20 Hz and 20 kHz, and ultrasonic above 20 kHz. It notes that medical ultrasound uses frequencies between 1 MHz and 15 MHz, typically 3.5 MHz. It also states that sound waves behave similarly to light waves through reflection, refraction, and diffraction.

    Acoustical waves above the range of human hearing

    < 20 Hz Infrasonic
    20 Hz ~ 20 kHz Audible
    > 20 kHz Ultrasonic
    1 MHz (deep organ) ~ 15 MHz (surface) is used for medical ultrasound
    Nominal frequency is 3.5 MHz

    Sound wave behaves like light wave


    Reflection
