Fill in the blank. 

Sound wave in the  ______ range are best for reflecting off of small objects.

  1. Ultrasound

  2. Infrared

  3. Acoustic

  4. Infrasound


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ultrasound has higher frequency than the audible range sound, and thus it has shorter wavelength. Due to this short wavelength, it becomes easy for it to interact(reflect, disperse) from small objects in its path.

Which of the following is property of ultrasound?

  1. High Frequency

  2. low frequency

  3. Low wavelength

  4. Low amplitude


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Among the above, high frequency is property of ultrasound.

State whether given statement is True or False
Ultrasound waves are harmful for humans.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ultrasonic waves are not harmful but just humans cant hear those frequency.

What are the sound waves of frequency more than 20 kHz called?

  1. Supersonics

  2. Audible

  3. Infrasonics

  4. Ultrasonics


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ultrasonics, vibrations of frequencies greater than the upper limit of the audible range for humans, that is, greater than $20kHz$.

What is the wavelength of the ultrasound in water ?

  1. $1.5 mm$

  2. $3.0 cm$

  3. $4.5 cm$

  4. $6.0 cm$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The frequencies used in ultrasonic diagnosis are in the range of 1 to 10 MHz. The speed of sound waves in the tissues of the human body averages about 1540 m/s (close to that for water). So, the wavelength of a 1 MHz wave is about $λ = v/f = 1540/1∙106 = 1.5∙10–3 m = 1.5 mm$.

What all are the uses of ultrasound?

  1. Detection of ailments in human body

  2. Cleaning machinery parts

  3. Detection of any deformities in metal blocks

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ultrasound can be used in 

1. detection of ailments in human body
2. cleaning machinery parts where our hand can't reach to clean
3. detection of any deformities in metal blocks
Hence D is the answer. 

If frequency of a wave is 5 Hz, then it is

  1. Ultrasonics

  2. Microwaves

  3. Infrasonics

  4. Radio waves


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Infrasound, sometimes referred to as low-frequency sound, is sound that is lower in frequency than 20 Hz or cycles per second, the "normal" limit of human hearing. So 5Hz is infrasonic.

State whether the given statement is True or False :

Humans can neither hear infrasonic nor ultrasonic sounds. 

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Audible range of frequency for human ear is  $20 \ Hz$ to $20 \ kHz$. Humans cannot hear sounds having frequency other than this range.
Sounds having frequency lower than $20 \ Hz$ are known as infrasonic sounds and that having frequency greater than $20 \ kHz$ are known as ultrasonic sounds. Thus, humans can neither hear infrasonic nor ultrasonic sounds.

State whether given statement is True or False :
Aquatic animals as dolphins also use ultrasound to catch their prey.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Aquatic animals as dolphins also use ultrasound to catch their prey. Statement is true.

Which of the following are applications of ultrasound.

  1. Ultrasound has been used in a variety of clinical settings, including obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology and cancer detection.

  2. Ultrasound is well known to have a significant effect on the rate of various processes in the food industry.

  3. Ultrasound is used in the synthesis of nanostructured materials.

  4. All of these.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The options in the question are given unnecessarily. It can be a direct question.
Below are the applications of ultrasound.

  • Ultrasound has been used in a variety of clinical settings, including obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology and cancer detection. The main advantage of ultrasound is that certain structures can be observed without using radiation. Ultrasound can also be done much faster than X-rays or other radiographic techniques. 
  • Ultrasound is well known to have a significant effect on the rate of various processes in the food industry. Using ultrasound, full reproducible food processes can now be completed in seconds or minutes with high reproducibility, reducing the processing cost, simplifying manipulation and work-up, giving higher purity of the final product, eliminating post-treatment of waste water and consuming only a fraction of the time and energy normally needed for conventional processes. Several processes such as freezing, cutting, drying, tempering, bleaching, sterilization, and extraction have been applied efficiently in the food industry. The advantages of using ultrasound for food processing, includes: more effective mixing and micro-mixing, faster energy and mass transfer, reduced thermal and concentration gradients, reduced temperature, selective extraction, reduced equipment size, faster response to process extraction control, faster start-up, increased production, and elimination of process steps. Food processes performed under the action of ultrasound are believed to be affected in part by cavitation phenomena and mass transfer enhancement. 
  • Ultrasound is used in the synthesis of nanostructured materials.
  • Devices limited to low ultrasonic frequencies, have a number of industrial applications, including drying, ultrasonic cleaning, and injection of fuel oil into burners. 

Three different vibrating objects produce three types of sounds X, Y and Z. Sounds X and Y cannot be heared by a man having normal range of hearing but sound Z can be heard easily. The sound X is used in hospital to break kidney stones of a patient into fine grains which then get flushed out with Urine. The sound similar to that which is produced during an earthquake before the main shock wave is generated.Name one device in our homes
which can produce sound like Z.

  1. oven

  2. Doorbell

  3. no such device is there in our homes

  4. all devices produce such sound


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

ultrasound is used for removing kidney stones.when ultrasound are targeted on such stone,the stones start vibrating at high frequency.the stone due to this vibratory motion. Breakdown into fine particles.ultrasounds and infrasounds are not audible to man.ultrasound have frequency more than 20kHz.a doorbell can produce an audible sound. Infrasound have frequency below 20Hz, X is ultrasound. Y is infrasound, Z is audible sound.

Rats also play games by producing -------

  1. ultrasound

  2. infrasound

  3. audible sound

  4. all


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Frequencies higher than 20 kHz are called ultrasonic sound
or ultrasound. Ultrasound is produced by dolphins, bats and porpoises. Moths of certain families have very sensitive hearing equipment. These moths can hear the high frequency squeaks of the bat and know when a bat is flying nearby, and are able to escape capture. Rats also play games by producing ultrasound.
