Ultrasonic transducer

An ultrasonic transducer is a device that converts electrical energy into high-frequency sound waves, known as ultrasound, and vice versa. It is commonly used in medical imaging, industrial testing, and cleaning. The transducer uses piezoelectric materials that vibrate when an electric current is applied, producing sound waves that travel through materials or the human body. These sound waves bounce back upon encountering different surfaces or tissues, and the transducer then detects the returning echoes to create images or gather material details. Essentially, it acts as both a sender and receiver of ultrasonic signals, enabling detailed inspections or visualizations.
