This document provides an overview of ultrasonic testing techniques. It discusses the nature of sound waves and how ultrasonic waves differ from audible sound waves in terms of frequency. It describes the different types of ultrasonic waves including longitudinal, transverse, Rayleigh, and Lamb waves. It also covers important concepts such as velocity, frequency, wavelength, and wave formation/pulse shape. The goal is to explain the basic theory behind ultrasonic testing.
