Wavelength in Different Media Quick Check 5 of 55 of 5 Items Question The table shows the speed of ultrasound waves in different tissues in the human body. Tissue Speed (m/s) Air 330 Fat 1,450 Water 1,480 Liver 1,550 Kidney 1,560 Blood 1,570 Muscle 1,580 Bone 4,080 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 point) Responses blood to fat blood to fat liver to muscle fat to liver muscle to kidney

Answer 1

The largest change in wavelength of the ultrasound wave would occur when transitioning from bone to fat, as these tissues have the largest difference in speed of ultrasound waves.
