Question 1
In phased array ultrasonic testing, what is a focal law?
Correct Answer:
The set of time delays applied to each element in the aperture to form, steer, and focus the beam
Question 2
Which physical principle explains how the individual element wavefronts combine to form a coherent phased array beam?
Correct Answer:
Huygens principle of wavelet superposition
Question 3
What is the near-field length of a 5 MHz, 16-element linear array where the active aperture is 16 mm long and the material velocity in steel is 5900 m/s?
Correct Answer:
About 54 mm
Question 4
What happens to PAUT beam focusing capability beyond the natural near-field length of the active aperture?
Correct Answer:
Focusing is not possible — the beam naturally diverges
Question 5
What is the element pitch of a linear phased array probe?
Correct Answer:
The center-to-center distance between adjacent elements
