Abstract
This chapter deals with the basic ideas and aspects of ultrasound as it travels through a medium. The main questions addressed are the following: what are sound and ultrasound, what does the medium through which the ultrasound is passing do to the ultrasound, and finally, what does the ultrasound do to the medium?
