Abstract
According to one embodiment, a processing device receives a detection result of an intensity of a reflected wave detected by a detector including a detecting part that transmits an ultrasonic wave and receives the reflected wave, and a propagating part through which the ultrasonic wave and the reflected wave propagate, and performs a first determination of determining a state of the detecting part and a second determination of determining a state of the propagating part based on the detection result.
