  Section III
Questions 13 - 17:

Question 13
B
We are told the value is obtained by multiplying the density of material by the speed of sound in the material. The units of density are kgm-3 and of speed are ms-1. So multiplying these gives the answer B

Question 14
C
The values of the two media have the greatest difference.

Question 15
C
The actual calculation is = (1.7 x 106 - 1.59 x 106)2 / (1.7 x 106 + 1.59 x 106)2 = 1.21 x1010 / 1.0824 x 1013

Question 16
D
For the value to be close to 1 we require a large difference in the acoustic impedances of the two materials. The greatest difference is between blood and bone.

Question 17
A
We know the speed is 1500ms-1. In this time 2 x 106 waves pass. Hence frequency = 1500 / 2 x 106 = 7.5 x 10-4 m; or 0.75mm
