Answer:
The thickness of the tissue is : 2.4 x 10⁷ mm
Explanation:
The general formula for speed is the distance travelled divided by the time taken.
In this case,
Speed = 1600 m/s ------speed of sound in human tissue
Time = 1.5 * 10 seconds -----time of taken for the ultrasound pulse to go through a certain thickness of a tissues
The thickness of the tissue here is the distance as per the speed formula, hence;
Tissue thickness = Speed of sound * time taken by ultrasound pulse
Tissue thickness= 1600 * 1.5*10 =24000 m
1 m= 1000 mm
24000m = 24000*1000 mm
= 2.4 x 10⁷ mm
