Question 87752 • MS-Physical Science
Sound waves are reflected when they bounce off boundaries between materials, and the returning echoes can be used to form images or locate objects. Ultrasound uses reflected waves for detecting diseases, locating damaged parts, and monitoring fetal development. Cleaning lenses, destroying cancer cells, and breaking down kidney stones use sound energy for other effects rather than relying on reflected waves.
