Ultrasonic sound waves, which are sound waves with frequencies above the range of human hearing (above 20 kHz), can lift small objects through a phenomenon known as acoustic levitation. This occurs when the pressure from the sound waves creates standing waves that can counteract the force of gravity on the object. By carefully controlling the amplitude and frequency of the sound waves, researchers can manipulate small particles or droplets in mid-air. This technique is often used in scientific experiments and demonstrations.
Sound waves are not a type of electromagnetic wave. Sound waves are mechanical vibrations that require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate, whereas electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
If you mean sound waves, the only type of sound waves that can travel through air (or any gas, for that matter) is longitudinal waves.

No, sunlight and radiowaves are not compression waves. Sunlight consists of electromagnetic waves, while radiowaves are a type of electromagnetic wave in the radio frequency range. Compression waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to propagate, such as sound waves.
Echolocation uses sound waves to navigate and locate objects in its environment. These sound waves are produced by the animal or device using echolocation, and they bounce off objects, returning echoes that are then detected to determine the object's location, size, and shape.
Sonar waves are a type of sound wave that are emitted and detected underwater to determine the location and features of objects. They are high-frequency waves that travel through water and bounce off objects, allowing for the measurement of distance and shape.
Sonar (or Sound Navigation and Ranging) is a type of technology that was designed to help with navigation, communication and locate objects underwater. Sonar projects sound waves then listens for the echo of the emitted sound waves to detect objects.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
Sound waves are pressure waves.
Sound waves are produced by a moving or vibrating object. When an object vibrates, it causes the surrounding air molecules to also vibrate, creating a disturbance that propagates through the air in the form of sound waves.
When waves interact with objects, they can be reflected, absorbed, refracted, diffracted, or transmitted. The specific behavior depends on the type of wave and the properties of the object. For example, light waves can be reflected off a mirror, sound waves can be absorbed by a soft surface, and water waves can be diffracted around obstacles.
Hot objects emit infrared electromagnetic waves.
Sonar uses sound waves to detect objects underwater. It is a type of acoustic wave that travels through the water and reflects off objects, allowing for the measurement and mapping of underwater environments.
Bats use high-frequency ultrasonic sound waves for echolocation, while whales use lower-frequency sound waves called infrasound. Both species emit these sound waves and listen for the echoes that bounce back off objects to navigate and locate prey.
there are two types of sound waves. (1) transverses waves (2) longitudinal waves
Sound waves are mechanical waves, which means they require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through.
