What do you call sound of higher pitch than your range of hearing?
Ultrasonic sounds
What is meant by ultrasonic range finders?
An ultrasonic rangefinder sends out a short beep of sound, and measuresthe time it takes for an echo to come back. Knowing the speed of sound,it calculates the distance to the object the sound echoed off of.It uses sound at a frequency that your ears can't hear, so the beep is called "ultrasonic".
Why ultrasonic waves are not electromagnetic waves?
No. They are mechanical waves, ultrasonic waves are sound waves and require a medium for propagation. The word ultrasonic denotes that they have a frequency above the audible range (above 20 KHz).
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum does the ultrasonic wave falls into?
An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.
What frequencies do ultrasonic sounds have?
The frequency range of ultrasound from 1 to 20 MH.
Which sound waves can be called ultrasonic?
Ultrasonic means 'faster than sound'. This means no sound wave can be faster than sound.
Can you see ultrasonic sound waves?
Sound waves- ultrasonic, sonic, or intrasonic are generally invisible. You cannot see sound.
Is ultrasonic wave radio frequency?
ultrasonic wave is sound frequency
Which Animals which communicate through ultrasonic?
bats can hear ultrasonic sound
Which animal can hear ultrasonic waves?
whale can hear ultrasonic sound waves.
What is ultrasonic velocity?
Ultrasound is sound above the range of human hearing, Sonic(20 to 20,000Hz) Human Hearing Range Sub-Sonic(20,000Hz) Ultrasonic velocity is the speed in which sound propogates in a certain material. It depends on material density & elasticity. Velocity is constant for a given material. Ultrasound is sound above the human hearing range. Sonic(20 to 20,000Hz) human hearing range, Sub-sonic(20,000Hz). Ultrasonic velocity is the speed in which sound travels through a given material. It is affected by density and elasticity. Velocity remains constant in a given material.
How can a loud speaker produce the ultrasonic sound?
All you need is an "ultrasonic" signal to come into it.
