Echoes and ultrasound.
Learning outcomes:
Keywords: Ultrasound, Describe an echo
echo, speed,
reverberation Use echoes to measure
transmitter, receiver distance
Describe ultrasound and some
practical uses
Did you know… reverb is
added to music to make a
richer wider side. It is the
continuation of a sound after
the sound is produced.
This diagram describes an echo. What is it?
An echo is a reflected sound:
It’s quieter than original sound
It’s identical to original sound

We hear echoes in a sports hall
not a class room. Why?
It’s bigger. So there can
be a delay.
Nothing in the way of
sound waves bouncing
back.
Hard flat edges so
sound can bounce.
Sound waves don’t die out after bouncing once. If
lots of echoes join together they produce a longer
sound called a reverberation.
Reverberation: Joining together of echoes producing
longer sounds.
You have been asked to design the worlds quietest non-echo
room. Explain what it might contain.
Success criteria
Insulating material
e.g. carpet, cloth, fabric
Not big
Not many flat edges
Using the speed equation to calculate distance.
This is the formula for speed. Re-arrange it to
find the distance
speed = distance ÷ time
(m/s) (m) (s)
Distance = speed x time
Distance = 340m/s x 1.3s
Question = 442m for there and back
A student shouts and times ÷ 2 to get one length = 221 m
how long it takes to hear the
echo. It took 1.3s. Calculate
the distance from the wall.
Speed of sound = ? 340 m/s
Time taken = ? 1.3 s
Distance equation?
Mini-plenary: Missing spaces
1. Distance = speed x ______.
2. Distance is measured in ____
3. A sound that bounces back is called an _____
4. The speed of sound is ______
5. What goes in the triangle?
6. The echo off a wall took
2 seconds. What was the
distance _______.
Mini-plenary: Missing spaces
1. Distance = speed x TIME
2. Distance is measured in METRES
3. A sound that bounces back is called an ECHO
4. The speed of sound is 340 m/s
5. What goes in the triangle?
6. The echo off a wall took
2 seconds. What was the
distance 2s x 340 m/s = 680m
÷ 2 to get one length = 340 m
What is Ultrasound?
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is sound at a frequency
beyond human hearing (above 20,000 Hz) COPY
THIS!
How is it used?
They can see by hearing.
DoThey
yousend
get out
it? high frequency sound
waves and it bounces back and they hear (see) the location.
Animals like bats and dolphins
use echolocation.
Ships can measure the depth of the ocean using sonar.
How can they measure the distance of the object
from the ship?
Receiver detects Transmitter sends out the signal.
the echo.
Distance = speed x time
Ultrasound Scan of the Baby
A device produces ultrasound. The sound waves bounce off
the baby and back to the scanner which then turns it into
an image.
Echoes are reflected sound waves.
They can be used to measure distance.
Distance = speed x time
Ultrasound are sound frequencies above the human audible
range. Uses include: communication, echolocation, scanning
unborn babies in the womb.
Activity
A ship uses sonar to measure the distance of the
seabed. The ship transmitted ultrasound and
timed how long it took to be received. It took
0.8s. Calculate the distance of the seabed from
the ship.
