Medical ultrasound uses frequencies on the order of \(10^{7} \mathrm{Hz}\), far above the range of the human ear. In what sense are these waves "sound"?

Get started for freeLight emerges from a 5.0 -mW laser in a beam 1.0 mm in diameter. The beam shines on a wall, producing a spot \(3.6 \mathrm{cm}\) in diameter. What is the beam's intensity (a) at the laser and (b) at the wall?
The main cables supporting New York's George Washington Bridge have a mass per unit length of \(4100 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}\) and are under 250-MN tension. At what speed would a transverse wave propagate on these cables?
An ideal spring is stretched to a total length \(L_{1} .\) When that length is doubled, the speed of transverse waves on the spring triples. Find an expression for the unstretched length of the spring.
When a wave source moves relative to the medium, a stationary observer measures changes in both wavelength and frequency. But when the observer moves and the source is stationary, only the frequency changes. Why the difference?
A 2.0 -m-long string is clamped at both ends. (a) Find the longest wavelength standing wave possible on this string. (b) If the wave speed is \(56 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\), what's the lowest standing-wave frequency?
