In ultrasonic testing, the reflected wave signal is trans<strong>for</strong>med into an electrical<br />

signal by the transducer and is displayed on a screen. In the applet below, the<br />

reflected signal strength is displayed versus the time from signal generation to<br />

when a echo was received. Signal travel time can be directly related to the<br />

distance that the signal traveled. From the signal, in<strong>for</strong>mation about the<br />

reflector location, size, orientation and other features can sometimes be<br />

gained.
