What are the applications of supersonic waves?

Supersonic waves are used in supersonic flights. They are also used in body scanning and used to detect faults in metal.


What is supersonic waves?

That's a sonic boom. Sound waves are never supersonic in themselves, objects can be supersonic ... which causes a pressure wave (which moves at "sonic" speeds) and which can be heard (firing a gun will do it).

Is bats produce supersonic sound waves?

the bats do not produce supersonic sounds.they produce ultrasonic sounds.Thats the reason we cant hear them


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 supersonic sound?

It is an oxymoron, a self-contradiction, in that sound must travel at the speed of sound (which does vary by the medium or material). Supersonic means "faster than sound."You might, however, describe vibrations as being supersonic, meaning that they are traveling faster than sound would in air.


Why can bat hear much higher sounds than humans?

bats can hear sounds of higher frequency than humans (supersonic) because they produce them and these sound waves echo back to them by bouncing of items so that they can see how far something is. Just like in submarines. therfore they need to 'hear' these 'supersonic' waves to see.


What is a hartman generator?

A Hartmann generator is an electronic device that produces shock waves. It does this on the edge of a nozzle using a supersonic gas resonate.


What is the difference between ultrasonic and supersonic waves?

a sound wave transmitted at a frequency greater than 20,000 per second, or beyond the normal hearing range of humans. The specific wavelength is equal to the velocity divided by the frequency. this wave is generated from tranducers, tranducers converts the electrical energy into mechanical energy(wave), i.e ultrasonic wave.supersonic waves are those wave whose velocity are greater than the sound wave. Supersonic waves are generated by high explosives.


Which animals use supersonic waves and how?

None ! Some animals such as bats, use ultra-sonic sound to locate prey, and 'see' in the dark.


Do sound waves exist even if you can't hear them?

Yes, sound waves exist which are not audible to the human ear. Humans can hear sound waves having frequency between 20 - 20,000 Hz. Other all frequencies lie outside our hearing range and are called ultrasonic or supersonic waves.
