Nature of Sound Waves
- How far the sound waves can travel depend on
- how strong the signal is
- the medium that the waves have to travel though; underwater is greater medium compared to brick wall.
Wave Properties
- Penetration
- Attenuation
- Reflection
Penetration
- Ultrasound waves, depending on amount of energy, will pass through a medium to a certain depth.
Attenuation
- As ultrasound waves travel through medium they continually losing energy to medium that they pass.
