-
you have to put the transducer,
-
which is producing the sound waves,
-
right up against the skin.
-
You don't want a gap of air in between and
-
that's why you put the gel.
-
Now, this transducer has a special material in it
-
that's called a piezoelectric material.
-
Piezoelectric materials have the property
-
that if you put a voltage through them
-
they resonate, or they physically move.
-
In addition, if you stimulate a piezoelectric material
-
with a moving wave,
