Sound waves with frequencies above the normal human range of hearing are called what?
Sound waves with frequencies above the normal human range of hearing are called ultrasoundUltrasoundUltrasonic for frequencies higher than a human can hear, and infrasonic for those frequencies below the human threshold of hearing.
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.
Do bats make a sound cry that humans can hear If so does it sound like a high pitched noise similar to a fire alarm This type of noise woke you up could it have been a bat in your room?
Can you show me what sound bats make and yes they do make a sound.
Two sound waves of equal amplitude with slightly different frequencies will result in?
A beat frequency.
What is the only type of energy you can hear?
The type of energy that you can hear is called sound.
What is the range of frequency that humans can hear?
the range of sound frequencies that humans can hear is about0to200Hz
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.
Do all animals hear the same frequencies of sound as human do?
Some animals can hear higher frequencies than humans can. This is why animals can hear things like dog whistles, and we can't hear them. In all, animals can hear differently than humans in the way that they can hear more. Some animals can hear lower frequencies than humans can. Elephants can hear much lower frequencies than humans.
What sound frequencies can humans hear?
typically 20-20000 Hz - but this range will decrease with age
What do you understand by following terms-infrasonic waves?
Sound waves at frequencies lower than humans can hear.
Frequencies too high pitched for the human ear to hear?
Sound waves too high for humans to hear are called: ultrasonic
What frequencies of sound are infrasonic?
Any frequency that is lower than those that humans can hear - that is, lower than about 20 Hz.
An earthquake is a fairly quiet shaking of the earth?
For humans it is, because most of the sound is at frequencies too low for us to hear.
Can animals hear the same sounds?
The sounds animals can hear is based on the frequency that the certain animal can hear. For example, dog's can hear at much higher frequencies then humans can, so if a sound is made that is above our capability of hearing, we will not hear the sound, but the dog will.
Why dog whistle is heard by dog but not man?
The frequency of the sound is too high for humans to hear, but dogs have more sensitve ears and can hear at higher frequencies.
Why can some animals hear sounds that humans can not hear?
Because each animal has a different range of sensitivity for sound frequencies; also not all the human beings are identical.
Do all animals see the same frequencies of visible light as humans do Do all animals hear the same frequencies of sound as humans do?
no bats and many marine animals can hear high frequency noises We can't. Most other animals can't
