Question

If you change the wavelength of sound, the propagation speed in the tissue being imaged will change. True False

Solution

False. The speed of sound propagation in a medium is determined by the properties of the medium itself (such as its density and elasticity), not the wavelength of the sound. Changing the wavelength will change the frequency of the sound, but not its speed.
