PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASOUNDA. Nature: Compression and RarefactionUltrasound consists of mechanical sound waves whose frequenciesare above the audible range, that is, &20,000 Hz(Hz stands for the number of wave cycles per second).Ultrasound can also be defined as a mechanical wavethat propagates in a medium. The mode of propagationof ultrasound is related to successive molecular compressionsand rarefactions occurring in that medium1
