Ultrasonic and Infrasonic sound waves are waves that are not audible to human beings. The audible region contains sound waves of 16 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
Infrasonic sound waves have frequencies below 16 Hz. For example, an earthquake.
Ultrasonic sound waves have frequencies above 20,000 Hz. For example, x-rays.

Bats can sense obstacles because they produce 1. supersonic sound waves 2. ultrasonic sound waves 3.infrasonic sound waves 4. micro Sound waves?
ultrasonic sound waves
What is the difference between infrasonic and ultrasonic?
Sound waves with frequencies below 20hertz are called infrasonic, while those with frequencies above20000 hertz are called ultrasonic
Compare ultrasonic and infrasonic?
The definition of infrasonic is relating to sound waves with a frequency below the limit of human hearing, 20 Hz. Ultrasonic relates to sound waves with a frequency above the limit of human hearing, 20,000 Hz.
What is the difference between ultrasonic and infrasonic sound waves?
The sound waves which are below the audible sound are called infrasonics(<20Hz) and The sound waves which are above the audible sound are called ultrasonics(>20KHz).
What are ultrasonic and infrasonic waves?
Infrasonic waves are waves which are below humans hearing range while ultrasonic waves are waves which human beings can hear. Example-bat,dog etc and human beings (respectively)
Infrasonic wave and ultrasonic wave?

What is the difference between ultra sonic and infrasonic sound?
sound waves with frequencies 20 hertz or lower are infrasonic and waves above 20,000hertz are ultra sonic!
Can you see ultrasonic sound waves?
Sound waves- ultrasonic, sonic, or intrasonic are generally invisible. You cannot see sound.
Which animal can hear ultrasonic waves?
whale can hear ultrasonic sound waves.
What is an ultrasonic wave?
Ultrasonic waves are sound waves with frequencies higher than what humans can hear. Sound waves have frequencies of about 20,000 to 100,000.
Can ultrasonic waves be polarized?
No. Only transverse waves can be polarized Ultrasonic wasves are sound waves, therefore are longitudinal.
Whether the sound produced by a seconds pendulum is infrasonic or ultrasonic?
Infrasonic denotes any sound that is at a frequency below the human capability of hearing, this is around 5-25Hz. Ultrasonic on the other hand is, conversely, a frequency that is above the human hearing range (over 20,000Hz).
