PROPERTIES OF SOUNDWAVES

NDT

Ultrasonic vibrations travel in the form of a wave, similar to the way light travels. = v/f = Wavelength v = material sound velocity f = frequency

ULTRASONIC TESTING
Wave Propagation and Particle Motion: Longitudinal Wave : Particle Motion is in the direction of wave propagation. Shear Wave : particle motion is perpendicular to the direction of the propagation.
