Physics
The properties of ultrasound that make it useful, are:
- High power and high speed
- High power and good directivity
- High frequency and high speed
- High frequency and bending around the objects
Answer
High power and good directivity
Reason — Properties of ultrasound that make it useful to us are:
- The energy carried by ultrasound is very high.
- The ultrasound can travel along a well defined straight path. It does not bend appreciably at the edges of an obstacle because of it's small wavelength (i.e., it has high directivity).
