If an ultrasound wave moves from one tissue to another tissue in the body, which of the following transitions will result in the largest change in the wavelength of the ultrasound wave

1 answer

The largest change in wavelength of an ultrasound wave will occur when the wave transitions from a medium with a lower speed of sound to a medium with a higher speed of sound. Therefore, the transition from a tissue with a lower speed of sound to a tissue with a higher speed of sound will result in the largest change in wavelength.
