Pulse duration is reported in what type of units?

Pulse duration is reported in what type of units?

• A. Hertz
• B. Units of time
• C. Decibels
• D. Watts

Answer: (B)

Pulse duration is the length of time a single ultrasound pulse lasts. Because it describes a time interval, it is expressed in units of time (such as microseconds or milliseconds). Hertz measures how often something repeats per second (frequency), while decibels quantify intensity (a logarithmic ratio) and watts measure power. So pulse duration is naturally a time-based unit.
