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
a. fat to liver
b. muscle to kidney
c. blood to fat
d. liver to muscle
d. liver to muscle
This transition will result in the largest change in wavelength as the speed of ultrasound waves in liver (1,550 m/s) is significantly different from the speed in muscle (1,580 m/s).
