Three types of seismic waves:
(a) Rayleigh wave ( Surface wave )
(b) compressional wave ( longitudinal wave )
(c) shear wave
(Explanation: According to ASME Section VIII Division 1, any indication characterized as a lack of fusion is unacceptable regardless of its size. Since the 2 mm long indication in the 20 mm thick weld has been characterized as lack of fusion, it would be unacceptable per ASME Section VIII Division 1 criteria, regardless of its size or depth
The angle at which 90° refraction of a longitudinalsound wave is reached is called the:
a. angle of incidence.
b. first critical angle.
c. angle of maximum reflection.
d. second critical angle.
When inspecting aluminum by the immersion method using water for a couplant, the following information is known: velocity of sound in water = 1.49 × 105 cm/s, velocity of longitudinal waves in aluminum = 6.32 × 105 cm/s, and angle of incidence = 5°. The angle of refraction for longitudinal waves isapproximately:
a. 22°
b. 18°
c. 26°
d. 16°
Sin5/x = 1.49 / 6.32
Beam divergence ( spread out ) is a function of the dimensions of the crystal and the wavelength of the beam transmitted through a medium, and it:

For discontinuity geometries other than flat, the echo amplitude دامنه اکو is usually from that observed _________ for a flat discontinuity, of similar orientation perpendicular to the sound beam.
a. identical

c. decreased
d. elongated
To evaluate discontinuities that are oriented at anangle to the entry surface so that the sound beam strikes the plane of the discontinuity at right angles,the operator must:
a. change the frequency.
b. grind the surface.
c. angulate the transducer.
d. increase the gain.
In immersion testing, to remove the second water reflection from between the entry surface signal and the first back reflection, you should:
a.increase the repetition rate.
b.decrease the frequency.
c.decrease the sweep length.
d. increase the water path.
If a discontinuity is oriented at an angle other than90° to the sound beam, the results may be a:
a. loss of signal linearity.
b. loss or lack of signal reflected from thediscontinuity.
c. focusing of the sound beam.
d. loss of interference phenomena.
The change in direction of an ultrasonic beam whenit passes from one material to another material inwhich elasticity and density difer is called:
a.reflection
b.rarefaction
c.angulation.
d.refraction.
