ULTRASOUND PHYSICS AND INSTRUMENTATION
Ultrasound is sound that has a frequency above the range of human hearing, which is about 20,000 cycles per second or 20 KHz. Diagnostic ultrasound is generated by a vibrating source in a transducer, called the piezoelectric crystal, which is placed on the surface of the skin. The transducer causes molecules in the medium (tissue) also to vibrate.

ultrasonic separation of fine gold and black sand
He then placed the ore in the cup of an ultrasonic jewellery cleaner and turned it on. According to him, gold particles settled to the bottom of the cup and, as more black sand was added, waste tailings overflowed the cup. He claimed to have recovered over 95% of the gold from about 100 litres of black sand this way which is very …

How does ultrasound work? | UCSF Radiology
UCSF Radiologist Dr. Callen explains what the word ultrasound means and how ultrasound imaging works. Humans hear sound between 20 and 20,000 Hz. Ultrasound uses frequencies of sound which is 2-15 MHZ, far above range in normal daily life. Ultrasound started with sonar, sending beam in the water and hits the submarine and it …

17.7: Ultrasound
Higher-frequency ultrasound would allow greater detail, but it does not penetrate as well as lower frequencies do. The accepted rule of thumb is that you can effectively scan to a depth of about (500 lambda) into tissue. For 7 MHz, this penetration limit is (500 times 0.22 mm), which is 0.11 m. Higher frequencies may be employed in ...
