which of the following may result in a long narrow rod if the beam Divergence
results in a reflection from a side of the test piece before the sound wave
reaches the back surface - correct answer ✔conversion from the longitudinal
mode to shear mode
the ratio of the velocity of sound in water compared to that for aluminum or
steel is approximately - correct answer ✔1:4
when using Focus transducers non symmetry and a propagated sounding
may be caused by - correct answer ✔lens centering or misalignment
a 45 degree angle shear wave beam transducer produces a wave in the metal
that is polarized - correct answer ✔perpendicular to the direction of
propagation and at 45° to the entry surface and 45 degrees to the normal to
the entry surface
on in A- scan display what represents the intensity of a reflected beam -
correct answer ✔signal amplitude
as transducer diameter decreases the beam spread - correct answer
✔increases
