seismic waves are invisible but are felt widely depending on the magnitude eg. 4.5 on the Richter scale would cause destruction and would definitely be felt
hope it helps!

∙ 12y ago1). Your eyes respond only to electromagnetic waves. Sound waves are not
electromagnetic waves.
2). The highest frequency of sound waves that we're aware of in the everyday world
around us is in the neighborhood of 20,000 Hz.
The frequency used for ultrasound imaging is in the neighborhood
of 4,000,000 Hz.
The lowest frequency wave that the eye can detect is in the neighborhood
of 400,000,000,000,000 Hz.

How do sound waves move?
Sound is vibration transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas. To see sound waves as longitudinal waves in air moving, scroll down to related links and look at "Longitudinal wave - Wikipedia".
Differences between light and sound waves?
The differences between light and sound are as follows:Light can be considered to be made of waves as well as particles. Sound is only a wave. It does not show particle nature.Light waves are electromagnetic waves while sound waves are mechanical waves.Light waves are transverse while sound waves are longitudinal.Light waves can travel in vacuum. Sound waves require a material medium to travel, and hence, cannot travel in vacuum.The speed of light in a medium is constant. The velocity of sound waves can change.In sound waves, the particles of the medium actually oscillate. In a light wave, the electric and magnetic vectors oscillate.Light waves can be polarized, but sound waves cannot.Light waves travel much faster than sound waves. The speed of light is a physical constant. Its value is exactly 299,792,458 metres per second in vacuuum. The speed of sound is 343 metres per second in dry air at 20°C.And finally, a simple one - you can see light while you can hear sound.
Is collecting sound the same as captureing sound waves?
Sound waves are what make up sound (sound waves=sound) so I would suppose so.
What kind of wave are sound waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they travel from side to side, not up and down like transverse waves.
Which is not a type of electromagnetic wave?
Sound waves aren't an electromagnetic wave. So aren't seismic waves. So aren't waves in the ocean, in your hair, or waves bye-bye.
What can you hear but can not see?
Sound waves
Can you see ultrasonic sound waves?
Sound waves- ultrasonic, sonic, or intrasonic are generally invisible. You cannot see sound.
Can sound waves be seen?
No, you cannot see sound waves. Sound waves move more quickly than we can process with our eyes. Technically, sound waves are invisible.
What is the devise you use to see sound waves?
osilliscope
What substances can you see sound waves in?
Water, sand
What machine allows you to see sound waves?
An Oscilloscope.
What converts sound waves into mechanical movement?
through mediums ANSWER: A speaker will covert sound waves into mechanical movement. To prove see sound feedback.
How do you differentiate light waves from sound waves?
You can see light waves (or particles . . .) but you cannot hear them. sound must travel thru matter , light can travel thru vacuum
How do sound waves move?
Sound is vibration transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas. To see sound waves as longitudinal waves in air moving, scroll down to related links and look at "Longitudinal wave - Wikipedia".
What sound waves help Bats to sense obstacles?
ultrasonic waves help bats to see at night
Why do we see distant events before we hear them?
because light waves travel faster than sound waves, you see the light a lot sooner than you hear the sound.
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
