Ultrasonic sound waves travel at the same speed as lower frequency sound waves. The medium determines the speed at which a sound wave, which is mechanical energy, can travel. Sound waves travel faster in liquids than in a gas (like air), and travel faster still in solids. The speed at which a sound wave travels is generally independent of the frequency of that sound.

Can you see ultrasonic sound waves?
Sound waves- ultrasonic, sonic, or intrasonic are generally invisible. You cannot see sound.
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 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.
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).
Why loudspeaker cannot be used to produce ultrasonic?
because speakers doesn't create ultrasonic waves, they create sound waves

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.
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).
High frequency sound waves are know as?
Ultrasonic sound.
Which sound waves can be called ultrasonic?
Ultrasonic means 'faster than sound'. This means no sound wave can be faster than sound.
What is the speed of ultrasonic waves in vacuum is equal to what is the speed of audible sound in air?
No, ultrasonic wave do not travel at all in a vacuum.
Are ultrasonic waves called as electromagnetic wave?
No ultrasonic waves are not a form of electromagnetic wave. Ultrasonic waves are nothing more than high frequency sound waves. They can be made with a suitable speaker or transducer.
Why loudspeaker cannot be used to produce ultrasonic?
because speakers doesn't create ultrasonic waves, they create sound waves
Bats can sense obstacles because they produce which waves?
ultrasonic sound waves
