The wavelength of ultrasound waves can be given as,

[tex]\lambda=\frac{v}{f}[/tex]

The speed of waves in human tissue is 1540 m/s.

Plug in the known values,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \lambda=\frac{1540\text{ m/s}}{(2.6\text{ million Hz)(}\frac{10^6}{1\text{ million}})}(\frac{10^3\text{ mm}}{1\text{ m}}) \\ =0.592\text{ mm} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the wavelength of waves in human tissue is 0.592 m.
