With an ultrasonic transducer, the waves propagate out from the transducer<br />

face with a circular wave front. If it were possible to get the waves to<br />

propagate out from a single point on the transducer face, the sound field<br />

would appear as shown in the upper image to the right. Consider the light<br />

areas to be areas of rarefaction and the dark areas to be areas of<br />

compression.
