Which 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.
