Ultrasonic sound waves travel at the same speed as lower frequency sound waves. The medium determines the speed at which a sound wave, which is mechanical energy, can travel. Sound waves travel faster in liquids than in a gas (like air), and travel faster still in solids. The speed at which a sound wave travels is generally independent of the frequency of that sound.

Can you see ultrasonic sound waves?

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


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 part of the electromagnetic spectrum does the ultrasonic wave falls into?

An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.


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 some examples of ultrasonic sound and how is it used in various applications?

Ultrasonic sound examples include medical imaging, cleaning, and distance measurement. In medical imaging, ultrasonic waves are used to create images of internal organs. In cleaning, ultrasonic waves are used to remove dirt and grime from objects. In distance measurement, ultrasonic waves are used in sensors to determine the distance between objects.

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.


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 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.
