Question
The following are properties of ultrasound waves as applied in medical imaging, except?1 pointThey are longitudinalThey are electromagneticThey are acousticThey depend upon the medium in which they propagate
Solution
The property of ultrasound waves that is not applicable in medical imaging is "They are electromagnetic". Ultrasound waves are not electromagnetic; they are mechanical waves. The other options are correct: they are longitudinal, they are acoustic, and they do depend upon the medium in which they propagate.
