Ultrasonic means 'faster than sound'. This means no sound wave can be faster than sound.

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.


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?

Bats produce ultrasonic sound waves to sense obstacles in their environment. These waves bounce back, allowing bats to navigate and locate objects in the dark.


What is the difference between ultrasonic and infrasonic sound waves?

Ultrasonic sound waves have frequencies higher than the upper limit of human hearing (20 kHz), while infrasonic sound waves have frequencies lower than the lower limit of human hearing (20 Hz). Ultrasonic waves are used in various applications such as medical imaging and cleaning, while infrasonic waves are produced by natural phenomena like earthquakes and some animal communication.


High frequency sound waves are know as?

Ultrasonic sound.

What is the difference between infrasonic and ultrasonic?

Infrasonic refers to sound waves below the frequency range of human hearing (below 20 Hz), while ultrasonic refers to sound waves above the frequency range of human hearing (above 20,000 Hz). Infrasonic waves are often produced by natural phenomena like earthquakes, while ultrasonic waves are commonly used in medical imaging and pest control.


Bats can sense obstacles because they produce which waves?

ultrasonic sound waves


What is the wavelength of ultrasonic sound?

The wavelength of ultrasonic sound typically ranges from 1 mm to 1 cm, corresponding to frequencies higher than the upper limit of human hearing (20 kHz). Ultrasonic sound waves have shorter wavelengths compared to audible sound waves.


What are ultrasonic sensors also known as?

Ultrasonic sensors are also known as transceivers but are more generally called transducers. Ultrasonic sensors work similar to radar or sonar which generate high frequency sound waves.
