QUESTION:
Ultrasonic waves have many applications in technology and medicine. One advantage is that large intensities can be used without danger to the ear. Cite another advantage of their short wavelength. (Hint: Why do microscopists use blue light rather than white light to see detail?)
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
The short wavelength of ultrasonic waves allows us to image smaller objects in detail. The concept is applied in microscopy because the blue color falls under shorter wavelength than does white color.
