Q47: A major (!) limitation of using a low test frequency is:<br />

a) The limit of depth penetration<br />

b) That a small search probe required<br />

c) That small discontinuities are hard to detect due to a larger angle of<br />

divergence. (standard answer)<br />

d) The low amplitude signals from disbonds and othe flat andd thin<br />

discontinuities<br />

Question: The detectability drop with increase of wavelength. The smallest<br />

discontinuities could be detected is approximately ½ λ. Could the beam<br />

divergence contribution term as Major?
