The speed of ultrasound in human body is 1540 m/s. A procedure is performed with a frequency of 2.57 MHz is used. To monitor the heart rate of a fetus, the maximum frequency shift is 100 Hz. The maximum speed of a vibrating heart is _____ cm/s.

Respuesta :

2.49 cm/s is the maximum speed of vibrating heart.

Given,

Frequency of ultrasonic wave = 2.57 MHz = 2.57 ×[tex]10^{6}[/tex] Hz

Speed of ultrasound = 1540m/s

The maximum frequency shift = 100 Hz

Maximum speed of heart = ?

By using Doppler equation

[tex]f1 = f0(\frac{c + v}{c} )[/tex] …..(1)

[tex]f2 = f1 (\frac{c}{c - v} )[/tex] …..  (2)

From equation (1) & (2)

[tex]f2= f0(\frac{c+v}{c-v} )[/tex]

[tex]f2 = 2.57[/tex] ×[tex]10^{6} + 100 = 2570100[/tex] Hz

[tex]f0 = 2570000[/tex] Hz

c = 1540 m/s

So,

[tex]2570100 = 2570000(\frac{1540 + v}{1540 - v} )[/tex]

1.00003(1540-v) = 1540+v

1540.05 - 1.00003v = 1540 +v

2.00003v = 0.05

v= 0.0249 m/s

v= 2.49 ×[tex]10^{-2}[/tex] m/s

v= 2.49 cm/s

So, the maximum speed of vibrating heart is 2.49 cm/s
