In a convex array, the strips are arranged in which manner?

• A. Stacked
• B. Side by Side
• C. Interleaved
• D. Random

Answer: (B)

In a convex array, the strips are arranged side by side along the curved face, forming a continuous aperture. This layout creates a broad, fan-shaped beam and allows steering and focusing across the array’s width by coordinating the timing across adjacent elements. Stacked would imply layers behind the front surface, interleaved would offset elements to create gaps or overlaps, and random would lack a coherent, orderly arrangement, which isn’t how a convex transducer is designed to operate.
