← ScienceWhich destructive consequence arises in pulsed ultrasound transducers when exceeding intensity limits?
A)Dielectric breakdown reduces emitted power
B)Acoustic cavitation damages crystal structure✓
C)Increased sensitivity to thermal noise
D)Signal interference degrades image resolution
💡 Explanation
Acoustic cavitation occurs because high-intensity sound waves create microbubbles that collapse violently, damaging the transducer crystal structure due to localized pressure spikes, rather than causing dielectric breakdown with electrical effects. Therefore, option B is observed, rather than A, C, or D.
