Problem

An ultrasonic probe working inside the same body tissue increases its operating frequency from 2 MHz2\,\text{MHz} to 4 MHz4\,\text{MHz}. What happens to the wavelength and the axial resolving power of the sound in the tissue (speed of sound remains unchanged)? (a) Wavelength halves; resolution worsens (b) Wavelength remains unchanged; resolution improves (c) Wavelength halves; resolution improves (d) Wavelength doubles; resolution unchanged
