Question 21
Medium

An engineer calibrates an ultrasonic transducer in a testing bath by measuring the wave profile along its path of propagation.

Using a movable probe, she records the distance, ddd, between the peak of the second wave crest and the minimum of the seventh wave trough, as shown in the diagram below.
