Axial resolution

Which of the following would have the highest propagation speed?

Bone

Areas of high pressure and density are referred to as:

What is defined as the beginning of one pulse to the beginning of the next pulse, and therefore includes both the "on" and "off" time?

Pulse repetition period

The portion of the sound beam where the molecules are pulled apart describes an area of

Rarefactions

Damping of the sound beam:

Reduces the spatial pulse length
