Problem

In a nondestructive test, a steel block is examined with ultrasonic waves of frequency 5.0 MHz5.0\,\text{MHz}. If the speed of sound in steel is 5900 m s−15900\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}, determine the minimum size of an internal crack that can be resolved, assuming the resolving power equals half the wavelength of the ultrasound.
