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.
What is the difference between ultrasonic and infrasonic sound waves?
The sound waves which are below the audible sound are called infrasonics(<20Hz) and The sound waves which are above the audible sound are called ultrasonics(>20KHz).
Can you see ultrasonic sound waves?
Sound waves- ultrasonic, sonic, or intrasonic are generally invisible. You cannot see sound.
Which animal can hear ultrasonic waves?
whale can hear ultrasonic sound waves.
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.
Can ultrasonic waves be polarized?
No. Only transverse waves can be polarized Ultrasonic wasves are sound waves, therefore are longitudinal.
What is the difference between infrasonic and ultrasonic?
Sound waves with frequencies below 20hertz are called infrasonic, while those with frequencies above20000 hertz are called ultrasonic
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.
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.
Why loudspeaker cannot be used to produce ultrasonic?
because speakers doesn't create ultrasonic waves, they create sound waves
