Using Sound

Question 6 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

Which best describes the process by which ultrasounds images are made?

Answer
A
Low-frequency sound waves are generated by a machine and refracted off of objects, creating echoes that are processed into images.
B
High-frequency sound waves are generated by a machine and refracted off of objects, creating echoes that are processed into images.
C
High-frequency sound waves are generated by a machine and reflected off of objects, creating echoes that are processed into images.
D
Low-frequency sound waves are generated by a machine and reflected off of objects, creating echoes that are processed into images.

Explanation

Ultrasound imaging uses high-frequency sound waves sent into the body. When these waves encounter boundaries between tissues, some are reflected back as echoes; the machine processes the echoes to form an image. Thus, the best choice is high-frequency waves reflected off objects to create echoes.
