Screen Based Apparatus for Ultrasonic Diffraction

Acousto Optic Effect

The Ultrasonic diffraction apparatus is used to study diffraction of light by ultrasonic waves. Ultrasonic sound refers to sound with a frequency greater than the human audible range (20Hz to 20 KHz). When an ultrasonic wave propagates through a medium, the molecules in that medium vibrate over very short distance in a direction parallel to the longitudinal wave. The apparatus consists of a graduated rail and rail carriages appropriately fitted with a laser head, an RF oscillator, a glass tank mount with crystal holder and a screen.

The ultrasonic waves generated by the transducer travels down the medium (liquid)and gets reflected at the bottom (flat glass plate) of the cell. The incident and reflected waves interfere and a stationary / standing wave pattern is formed. The pattern can be observed on a screen or a wall and we can plot diffraction pattern on a graph paper for further calculations.

Experiment:

To find the velocity of ultrasonic wave in liquids

The velocity of ultrasonic wave in a liquid,

V   =   ʋ ʌ

Where υ is the frequency of the crystal oscillator and Λ is the wavelength of ultrasonic wave.

We have,

Λ   =   n λ / Sin θ

Where n is the order of diffraction, λ is the wavelength of the laser used and θ is the angle of diffraction.

θ   =   tan-1 ( D / L )

D is the order length and L is the distance measured from the crystal oscillator to the detector.

 To find the bulk modulus of the given liquid

The bulk modulus of the liquid,

β   =   ρV2

Where ρ is the density of the liquid and V is the velocity of the ultrasonic wave.

 To find the compressibility of the liquid

The compressibility of a liquid is the reciprocal of bulk modulus,

K   =   1 / ρV2

Where ρ is the density of the liquid and is V the velocity of the ultrasonic wave.
