The table shows the speed of ultrasound waves in different tissues in the human body.

Tissue Speed (m/s)
Air 330
Fat 1,450
Water 1,480
Liver 1,550
Kidney 1,560
Blood 1,570
Muscle 1,580
Bone 4,080
If an ultrasound wave moves from one tissue to another tissue in the body, which of the following transitions will result in the largest change in the wavelength of the ultrasound wave?

(1 point)
Responses

fat to liver

muscle to kidney

blood to fat

liver to muscle

The largest change in wavelength of the ultrasound wave will occur when the wave moves from fat to bone, because there is a significant difference in the speed of ultrasound waves between these two tissues (1,450 m/s for fat and 4,080 m/s for bone).

answer from the responses

The largest change in wavelength of the ultrasound wave will occur when the wave moves from fat to liver, as there is a significant difference in the speed of ultrasound waves between these two tissues (1,450 m/s for fat and 1,550 m/s for liver).
