Impedance and Normal Angle of Incidence
Impedance and Normal Angle of Incidence
This lesson covers angle of incidence in ultrasound physics, specifically normal (perpendicular) incidence at 90 degrees and how acoustic impedance differences between media determine whether sound is reflected or transmitted. Students learn to calculate and interpret the intensity reflection coefficient and transmission coefficient to predict sound beam behavior at anatomical boundaries.

13:42 lessonHello everyone. Welcome to Prep's ultrasound Physics Registry Review course. I'm Jenna LA Care, an A-R-D-M-S certified Sonographer and your guide through the exciting journey of ultrasound physics. The angle of incidents describes the angle that we are scanning at in relation to the boundary. This is the angle at which the sound beam encounters a boundary and it determines the response of the...
