What type of equipment is required to detect ultrasound above 1MHz?

AI Thread Summary
To detect ultrasound above 1MHz, specialized equipment such as high-frequency transducers is necessary. The discussion highlights the challenges of coupling high-frequency ultrasound with air, suggesting that detection may be inefficient in this medium. The original poster's interest lies in applications related to weapons technology, raising concerns about the implications of such use. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the medium and object size for effective ultrasound detection. Ultimately, the thread concludes without further exploration due to the sensitive nature of the application.

Is this for a medical or other imaging application? What media will the ultrasound energy be traveling in? How large of an object are you wanting to image?

Sorry I'm interested in detecting high freq sounds traveling through air.
 
I don't think you will get very good coupling of that frequency ultrasound with air as the medium, but I'm no ultrasound expert. What is the application?
 
Turns out the OP's application involves weapons technology. Thread closed.
 

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
