frequency. Owing to technological development, the extent of use of ultrasound in orthopaedics is expanding. Ultrasound is produced by a piezoelectric effect and matter is requires for propagation. According to the characteristics of matter, the velocity of propagation differs and the images are the overall result of the interaction of reflection, refraction, absorption, scattering, transmission, and attenuation.
What is an ultrasonic sensor
An ultrasonic sensor is an electronic device that
measures the distance of a target object by emitting ultrasonic sound waves, and converts the reflected sound into an electrical signal. Ultrasonic waves travel faster than the speed of audible sound (i.e. the sound that humans can hear). Ultrasonic sensors have two main components: the transmitter (which emits the sound using piezoelectric crystals) and the receiver (which encounters the sound after it has travelled to and from the target).
Why can't we hear sound underwater
The reason we can hear sound is because it is
transmitted using waves in the air. However, the reason why we cannot hear in water is because the density of water is high, so we cannot hear it. To put it simply, we cannot find the direction of sound because it is much higher than the frequency of sound that humans can hear. It is not audible to our ears because it is dispersed.
