Because at very high frequencies, the inductive effect of loud speaker coil is so high that practically no current passes through it. Further, the diaphragm of the loud speaker cannot respond for such high frequency. Hence ultrasonic waves cannot be produced using loud speaker.
Are known as: Overtones
You can't produce ultra-sound from a normal speaker. There would be no current to drive the coil due to the high frequency. It would have to be an ultrasound transducer.
an ultrasound
Ultrasound imagery (or sonography).
The amount of current passing through your body and the path of the current.
Is cyclic sound pressure with a frequency greater than the upper limit of human hearing. Ultrasound imaging is a common diagnostic medical procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce dynamic images (sonograms) of organs, tissues, or blood flow inside the body.
Actually, Giraffes communicate using infrasonic sounds, i.e. sounds with a frequency BELOW the range of human hearing. Ultrasound would be ABOVE the human hearing range.Sources: Wikipedia
this is not how they are made naturally but how they are made for diagnostic uses: ultrasound waves are made by applying a current that is similar to the natural frequency of the piezoelectric quartz crystal, when this is applied to the crystal they produce ultrasonic waves! ADDED: As a point of detail, quartz is rarely if ever used now, replaced by much more sensitive, artificial, piezoelectric ceramics.
no
Yes. itβs called a probe.
A sonogram
The ability of a speaker to produce ultrasonic output when driven with high frequency AC depends on the design (intent) of the speaker. Typical audio speakers are not designed to go ultrasonic - the cone's mass and resonate frequency just won't support it. Also, the coil reactance is too high for ultrasonic waves so they cannot be produced.
