The question is: Calculate the wavelength of a 1.5 MHz sound wave that is being transmitted through soft tissue. (This is Ultrasound physics, if you are wondering.)
formula used: wavelength = velocity (1540 m/s) divided by 1.5 MHz
MHz changes to 1.5 x 10^6
so I have: 1540m/s / 1.5 x 10^6 1/s=10.27 x 10^-4m or 10.27mm
Is this correct? I'm worried about my conversion---I tend to mess up the most simple conversions.
Thx!
