You can use ultra sonic waves to image heart valves, to apply therapeutic heat, and the break up kidney stones, to name just three uses.

What is the difference between ultra sonic and infrasonic sound?

sound waves with frequencies 20 hertz or lower are infrasonic and waves above 20,000hertz are ultra sonic!


Can ultra sonic waves hurt you?

Ultra sonic waves are a sound frequency that is oftentimes silent to humans. Research shows there is no long term negative affects due to exposure to these sounds.


What is ultrasonic sound?

Ultrasonic sound refers to sound waves with frequencies higher than the upper threshold of human hearing, typically greater than 20 kHz. These sound waves are used in various applications such as medical imaging, cleaning, and distance measuring due to their ability to penetrate materials and produce detailed results.


What are sound waves classified as?

Sound waves are classified as mechanical waves because they require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. They are longitudinal waves, meaning the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation.


How do shellfish communicate?

They use their pincers to snap at the air and send ultra sonic waves through the ocean


How does a depth finder work?

They use ultra sound waves that are bounced off the bottom of a body of water. Newer depth finders use sonic waves.


What does 20KHZ mean in ultra sonic?

20 kHz refers to a frequency of 20,000 hertz, which is at the upper limit of the audible range for humans. In ultrasonics, frequencies above 20 kHz are used for various applications, such as ultrasonic cleaning, medical imaging (ultrasound), and pest control. These high-frequency sound waves can travel through different mediums and have unique properties that make them useful in non-destructive testing and other industrial applications.


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.


Why is ultrasonic not used in radar?

ultrasonic waves are not used but radio waves are used in radar technology because ultra sonic waves generally create an image out of the object while we have to confine our study to the geometrical measurements only


A picture created using ultra sonic waves?

it is called none of u beeswax how u like dem apples cuz i dont know the answer to that myself


What is piezoelectric method use of ultra sonic wave?

The piezoelectric method utilizing ultrasonic waves involves the generation of high-frequency sound waves through piezoelectric materials, which convert electrical energy into mechanical vibrations. These ultrasonic waves can be employed for various applications, including non-destructive testing, medical imaging, and industrial cleaning. By analyzing the reflected waves, it is possible to assess material properties, detect flaws, or create high-resolution images of internal structures. This technique leverages the unique ability of piezoelectric materials to respond to electrical stimuli by producing ultrasonic signals.


Why infrasonic waves can't be used in radar?

Radar comes from Radio Detection and Range. By definition, it uses radio waves. Ultra sonic waves, very high frequency audio waves, are used in Sonar, the name being analogous to Radar. Infra Sonic waves are of far too long a wavelength to be useful for any measurement of the distance of the target. [And there are some technical reasons as well - not dealt with here.]
