Sono Savvy - Physics

This episode covers pulse duration, spatial pulse length, pulse repetition period and frequency, and duty factor—what each one means, how they relate, and how pulsed ultrasound timing works.

This episode breaks down the seven parameters used to describe sound waves: period, frequency, amplitude, power, intensity, wavelength, and propagation speed, including how they relate to one another and what determines each one.

This episode explains the basics of sound including how sound waves move, the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves, acoustic variables, and how waves interact through constructive and destructive interference. 

Build the foundation for ultrasound physics graphs, direct and inverse relationships, reciprocals, units, metric prefixes, powers of ten, and unit conversions—the basic tools you’ll use throughout the rest of physics.
