What is the difference between infrasound and ultrasound?

Ultrasound is above 18 kilohertz. Infrasound is below 20 hertz.


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 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.


Is infrasound used to clean glassware?

No, but you can use ultrasound to clean glassware.


What is the opposite of the ultrasound?

The opposite of ultrasound (above the human hearing range) is infrasound (below the human hearing range).


How acoustics is related to physics?

Acoustics is the study of sound, ultrasound and infrasound, that is, waves in gases, liquids, and solids.


How ultrasound and infrasound differ from normal sound?

Sonic infrasound is a sound too low for humans to hear, below 20 Hertz. Ultrasound is a sound too high for humans to hear, above 20,000 Hertz.


What is different between infrasound and ultrasound?

Infrasound is sound that is lower in frequency than 20 Hz (Hertz) or cycles per second, the normal limit of human hearing. Ultrasonic waves have frequencies above the audible range at around 20 kHz. Audible sound is within human hearing range.


Which is longerthe wavelength of infrasound or the wavelength of ultrasound?

I beg your pardon? Sound is not a person, let alone a living being. >:-(


What sounds can't humans hear?

Humans can't hear sounds that are below 20Hz (infrasound) or above 20,000Hz (ultrasound). Infrasound is produced by natural phenomena like earthquakes and by some animals, while ultrasound is used in medical imaging and by animals like bats for echolocation.


What do you call a sound that you cannot hear?

Sound too low in frequency to hear (~<20Hz) is called infrasound. Sound too high infrequency to hear (~>20kHz) is called ultrasound.
