Nature of Sound Waves

  • How far the sound waves can travel depend on
    • how strong the signal is
    • the medium that the waves have to travel though; underwater is greater medium compared to brick wall.

Wave Properties

  • Penetration
  • Attenuation
  • Reflection

Penetration

  • Ultrasound waves, depending on amount of energy, will pass through a medium to a certain depth.

Attenuation

  • As ultrasound waves travel through medium they continually losing energy to medium that they pass.

Reflection
