Ultrasound is used to produce images of tissues inside the body.
Why can ultrasound show the boundary between two different tissues?
Ultrasound is completely absorbed by every tissue that it reaches
Ultrasound passes through every tissue with no reflection at all
Some ultrasound is reflected at each boundary between tissues
Ultrasound travels at the same speed in every type of tissue
