Piezo-electric effect• When crystals like quartz,
tourmaline etc. are subjected to stress along the mechanical axis, a P.D is developed across the perpendicular electrical axis.
• This is called Piezo electric effect
• Discovered by J & P. Curie• Converse of this effect is also possible.
![Page 13: Introduction to the Physics of Ultrasound Sound? Sound is a longitudinal wave that travels in a straight line Sound requires a medium for traveling Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649dfe5503460f94ae624e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Converse piezo electric effect• When a P.D is applied between the
two opposite faces of a crystal, then stress or strain is induced along the perpendicular faces.
• If frequency of osculation is equal to the natural frequency of the crystal, resonance takes place and ultrasonics are produced.

Magnetostriction
Magnetostriction is a property of magnetic materials that causes them to change their shape when subjected to a magnetic field. The effect was first identified bby James Joule
James Prescott Joule, (1818 – 1889)
![Page 27: Introduction to the Physics of Ultrasound Sound? Sound is a longitudinal wave that travels in a straight line Sound requires a medium for traveling Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649dfe5503460f94ae624e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• When a ferromagnetic rod is placed in an alternating M.F, with its length parallel to the field, the length of the rod increases and decreases rapidly (or the rod vibrates) This phenomena is known as Magnetostriction.
• This principle is used to produce ultrasonic waves

Ultrasound imaging: How does it work?
• An ultrasound element acts like a bat.
• Emit ultrasound and detect echoes
• Map out boundary of object
![Page 46: Introduction to the Physics of Ultrasound Sound? Sound is a longitudinal wave that travels in a straight line Sound requires a medium for traveling Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649dfe5503460f94ae624e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
More about how it works…
• The probe contains a transmitter and a receiver.
A pulse of ultrasound is sent out by the transmitter.
The pulse is reflected from a surface and returns to the receiver.
The ultrasound machine measures how long it takes for the pulse to return

Why Use Ultrasound?
• Ultrasound is very safe. There is no firm evidence that it does any harm to the body (or the baby in the case of pregnancy scans).
• X-rays are potentially dangerous, particularly to young children and pregnant women (they damage the unborn baby).

Ultrasonic diffractometer
• To find the velocity and wavelength of ultrasonics
• a quartz crystal is set into vibrations in a liquid using an R.F oscillator.
• Ultasonics produced
• This makes the liquid an aquastic grating
• Collimated sodium light allowed to fall normally on the grating

• Diffraction takes place
• d sin θ= nλ--------(1) where d= the distance between 2 nodal or antinodal planes
• d= λa/2 or λa= 2d
• V=טλa
