Q15: A significant limitation of a lower frequency, single element transducer is:<br />

a) Scatter of sound beam due to microstructure of test object<br />

b) Increased grain noise or ‘hash’<br />

c) (Less beam spread<br />

d) Impaired ability to display discontinuities just below the entry surface<br />

How & Why ?<br />

Reasoning: Pulse/Beam Characteristics<br />

High frequency, short duration pulse exhibit better depth resolution but allow<br />

less penetration.<br />

Lower frequency, longer duration pulse.
