- Frequency: number of cycles in unit of time.
- The unit is hertz (Hz),
- Frequency has an inverse relationship to
wavelength. - Main determinant factor of axial resolution
of an image. - Main determinant factor of attenuation.
Attenuation coefficiency are equal to half
of operating frequency. - The propagation speed of sound wave
in a medium has nothing to do with
frequency. - Active element in a transducer produce a
pulse with a series of frequencies. The range
between lowest and highest are called
bandwidth. - The frequency of a transducer can not be
changed by operator.
