All About Sound Waves: Part 2
All About Sound Waves: Part 2
This video covers the acoustic parameters used to describe sound waves in ultrasound physics, focusing on power, intensity, and amplitude as the three key parameters that describe beam strength. Students learn how these operator-adjustable parameters relate to each other and how to calculate intensity using the power-to-area ratio.

11:43 lessonHello everyone. Welcome to Prep's ultrasound Physics Registry Review course. I'm Jenna Laquerre, an A-R-D-M-S certified sonographer and your guide through the exciting journey of ultrasound physics. So to describe the properties of a sound wave, we use the seven acoustic parameters, period, frequency, amplitude, power intensity, wavelength, and propagation speed. Later we're gonna discuss some...
