Question 2 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

Which of these statements accurately describe uses of ultrasound technology? Check all that apply.It is unsafe to use for industrial applications.It can be used to clean small items like jewelry.It can be used to clean large items like machinery.It increases the production time of everyday materials.It cannot be used in the presence of liquids like water.

Answer
A
It is unsafe to use for industrial applications.
B
It can be used to clean small items like jewelry.
C
It can be used to clean large items like machinery.
D
It increases the production time of everyday materials.
E
It cannot be used in the presence of liquids like water.

Explanation

Ultrasound can clean both small objects, such as jewelry, and larger equipment, such as machinery, by creating vibrations that loosen dirt and debris. It is also used in industrial applications, and ultrasonic cleaning commonly works in a liquid bath, so statements A and E are false. Ultrasound can make some manufacturing processes faster rather than increasing production time, so D is false.
