24
Q

The width of sound beam at the focus is _____ the sound beam as it leaves the transducer

A

Half

25
Q

What are other names for spherical waves

A

Diffraction patterns or
Huygens wavelets

26
Q

The interference of many spherical waves create the shape of the sound beam. What principle explains this

A

Huygens principle

27
Q

Axial resolution improves with

A

Shorter pulses

28
Q

Axial resolution is determined by_______ and remains constant

A

Spatial pulse length

29
Q

Lateral resolution is best with

A

Narrowest beam

30
Q

Lateral resolution changes with

A

Depth

31
Q

Lateral resolution is best at

A

Focus

32
Q

High frequency improves lateral resolution in the far field only, explain why

A

Less divergence

33
Q

Which one is better axial resolution or lateral, and understand why

A

Axial, because the beam is shorter than it is wider

34
Q

What are the three methods of focusing

A

Electronic (phased array), external and internal (fixed)
