■ Quartz is a Silicon Oxide (SiO 3 ) crystal found naturally and X cut across<br />

the crustal give compression wave, a Y cut produces shear wave.<br />

Advantages:<br />

1. Resistance to wear<br />

2. insoluble in water<br />

3. resistance to ageing<br />

4. easy to cut to give the required frequency<br />

Disadvantage<br />

1. It is inefficient, needs a lot of energy to<br />

produce small amount of ultrasound<br />

2. Quart crystals are susceptible to<br />

damages (nor robust)<br />

3. High voltage to produce low frequency<br />

sound
