7 ! of Ultrasonic Waves4. Attenuation3. Effects of Temperature2. Reflection1. Wavelength and RadiationVelocity of wave propagation is expressed by multipli-cation of frequency and wavelength. The velocity of an electromagnetic wave is 3 08m/s, but the velocity of sound wave propagation in air is as slow as about 344m/s (at 20 C). At these slower velocities, wavelengths are short, meaning that higher resolution of distance and In order to detect the presence of an object, Ultrasonic waves are reflected on metal, wood, concrete, glass, rubber and paper, etc.

8 Reflect approximately 00% of Ultrasonic waves, these objects can be easily , cotton, wool, etc. are difficult to detect because they absorb Ultrasonic waves. It may often be difficult, also, to detect objects having large surface undulation, because of irregular can be obtained. Because of the higher resolution, it is possible to get higher measurement made large accuracy. The sur-face dimension of the Ultrasonic device can be easily to obtain accurate of sound wave propagation c is expressed by the following .5+ (m/s) where t=temperature ( C) That is as sound velocity varies according to circumfer-The strength of Ultrasonic waves propagated into the air attenuate proportionally with distance.

9 This is caused by diffusion loss on a spherical surface due to diffrac-tion phenomenon and absorption loss, that energy is absorbed by shown in Fig. , the higher the frequency of the ultra-sonic wave, the bigger the attenuation rate and the shorter the distance the wave waves are sounds which cannot be heard by humans and are normally, frequencies of above basic characterisitics of Ultrasonic waves are explained temperature, it is necessary to verify the temper-ature at all times to measure the distance to the object (t=20 C)Distance (m)FrequencyAttenuation (dB)20 (kHz)40 (kHz)80 (kHz)200 (kHz)Fig.
