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 '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
