| Description | Students learn about sound waves and use them to measure distances between objects. They use ultrasound waves to measure distances and understand how ultrasonic sensors are engineered. Students learn about sound waves and use them to measure distances between objects. They explore how engineers incorporate ultrasound waves into medical sonogram devices and ocean sonar equipment. Students learn about properties, sources and applications of three types of sound waves, known as the infra-, audible- and ultra-sound frequency ranges. They use ultrasound waves to measure distances and understand how ultrasonic sensors are engineered. |
