With a seismograph.

While professional seismographs use electronic transducers to detect small movements of a mass, a very simple one can be built with a simple pendulum having a pen attached to it to draw its movements on a sheet of paper.

Can ultrasonic waves be polarized?

No, ultrasonic waves cannot be polarized because they are mechanical waves that propagate through a medium by vibration and compression, unlike electromagnetic waves which can be polarized due to their transverse nature.


What is the reason for ultrasonic waves not being in the form of electromagnetic waves?

Ultrasonic waves are high frequency sonic waves. They're sound, which is mechanical energy. Electromagnetic waves are waves of electromagnetic energy, like radio waves or light. Mechanical energy is different from electromagnetic energy, hence the reason for ultrasonic waves not taking the form of electromagnetic waves.


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 is ultrasonic not how energy is transferred from the sun to the earth?

Ultrasonic waves are not how energy is transferred from the sun to the Earth because ultrasonic waves are sound waves with frequencies too high for humans to hear. The energy from the sun reaches the Earth through electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of visible light and heat. This energy travels through space in the form of photons, not as mechanical waves like ultrasonic waves.


What are the properties of ultrasonic waves?

THE ULTRASONIC WAVES have constant velocity in homogeneous medium. Many modes of vibration. High resolution,used for flaw detection Sonic beam and highly energetic. reflection and refraction in interface.so elastic

What to do to stop ultrasonic waves that are directed at your home or detect them and track them?

To stop ultrasonic waves directed at your home, you can use soundproofing materials like acoustic foam or heavy curtains. To detect and track ultrasonic waves, you can use a specialized ultrasonic detector or app that can pick up the frequencies emitted by the waves. You can then follow the source of the waves to track their origin.


Which animal can hear ultrasonic waves?

whale can hear ultrasonic sound waves.


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 standard value of velocity and wavelenght of ultrasonic waves in benzene?

The standard value of velocity of ultrasonic waves in benzene liquid is 1260 m/sec.


Explain how ultrasonic waves can be produced in the laboratory?

Ultrasonic waves can be produced in the laboratory using a device called an ultrasonic transducer. The transducer converts electrical energy into mechanical vibrations, which generate the ultrasonic waves. These waves can be used for various applications, including medical imaging, cleaning, and material testing.


How can you trace ultrasonic waves?

Ultrasonic waves can be traced using ultrasonic sensors that emit the waves and then detect their reflections. These sensors send out high-frequency sound waves that bounce off objects and return to the sensor, allowing for measurement of distance, presence, or motion based on the time it takes for the waves to return. By analyzing the wave reflections, it is possible to trace the path and interactions of ultrasonic waves.


Can you see ultrasonic sound waves?

Sound waves- ultrasonic, sonic, or intrasonic are generally invisible. You cannot see sound.


Can ultrasonic wave pass through 1Cm thick iron plate?

No, ultrasonic waves will have difficulty passing through a 1cm thick iron plate due to the high density and thickness of the material. Iron is known to be a good reflector and attenuator of ultrasonic waves, making it an obstruction to their passage.


Can ultrasonic waves be polarized?

No, ultrasonic waves cannot be polarized because they are mechanical waves that propagate through a medium by vibration and compression, unlike electromagnetic waves which can be polarized due to their transverse nature.


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).


Can ultrasonic waves knock people out?

No, ultrasonic waves cannot knock people out. Inaudible ultrasonic waves are often used in medical imaging and cleaning processes, but they do not possess the ability to induce unconsciousness in humans.


Can a human ear hear ultrasonic waves?
