3. The voltage pulse reaches the transducer and is converted into mechanical<br />

vibrations (see piezoelectricity ), which enter the test piece. These vibrations<br />

(energy) now travel along their sound path through the test piece. All this<br />

time, the spot is moving horizontally across the CRT.<br />

4. The energy in the test piece now reflects off the interface (back wall) back<br />
