Infrasound has a frequency below normal hearing. Ultrasound waves have a frequency above the normal range of human hearing.

∙ 10y ago"Ultrasound" would not seem so mysterious and sci-fi futuristic if it were just called
"sound", which is exactly what it is. Ultrasound is a longitudinal mechanical vibration
of material that carries energy from one place to another, just like any other sound
does. The only difference is that ultrasound happens to be at frequencies higher than
what your ear can detect, so when you're around ultrasound, you don't hear anything.
Ultrasound is a mechanical wave in material substances, whereas light is an
electromagnetic wave that doesn't require any material substance to carry it.
Ultrasound travels at the speed of sound ... about 340 meters per second in
air at sea level. Light travels at the speed of light ... about 300,000,000 meters
per second in vacuum.

What is the difference between the sound waves and ultrasound?
Difference is in their frequency, audible sound waves is between 12 Hz and 20,000 Hz, Ultrasound waves is any sound that has a frequency beyond the 20,000 Hz limit
What is the difference between ultrasonic and ultrasound?
Ulrasound is sound that is too high pitched for the human ear to hear. Ultrasonic is used to describe a sound as being an ultrasound. So, ultrasonic is an adjective, and ultrasound is a verb.
What is the difference between infra sound and ultrasound?
Infrasound has a frequency below normal hearing. Ultrasound waves have a frequency above the normal range of human hearing.
What is a similarity between infrasound and ultrasound?
"Sound" is a mechanical wave traveling through a medium. Ultrasound is sound, but its frequency is higher than humans can hear.
What is the difference between ultraviolet radiation and ultrasound?
The difference between ultraviolet radiation and ultrasound is how they react when inside the body. Ultraviolet radiation attacks the cells and destroys cells that are harmful to the body. Ultrasound is merely a viewing device. Ultrasound is used to detect abnormalities in the body.
What is the difference between infrasound and ultrasound And provide one example of how each is used?
Infrasound is always smaller or lighter than ultrasound. For example: infrasound can be the sound of a paper clip hitting the floor, and ultrasound can be the sound of two planets colliding.
What is the difference between ultrasound and shock waves Eg a shockwave does damage to say a kidney stone but you can ultrasound the kidney without damaging it?
Ultrasound.

Which is better ultrasound or infra sound?
Ultrasound
What is the difference between an ultrasound and amniocentesis?
Ultrasound is non-invasive and therefore lower risk. It is the use of high-frequency sound waves to visualize the interior of the body, typically to "see" the fetus. Amniocentesis is the extraction of amniotic fluid from the uterus via a big needle.
What is the difference between Sonar and Ultrasound?
sonar is used to detect big penises
