they are sound waves with frequencies ranging from 20 to 20,000 Hz
"Sonic" usually refers to sound or having to do with sound waves. It can also refer to speed, especially in terms of how fast something is moving.
That's a sonic boom. Sound waves are never supersonic in themselves, objects can be supersonic ... which causes a pressure wave (which moves at "sonic" speeds) and which can be heard (firing a gun will do it).
Sound waves are classified as mechanical waves because they require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. They are longitudinal waves, meaning the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Sound waves- ultrasonic, sonic, or intrasonic are generally invisible. You cannot see sound.
A sonic boom is a loud noise created by shock waves when an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound. It occurs when the sound waves generated by the object cannot propagate away from it faster than it moves, resulting in a sudden, explosive sound once the object surpasses the speed of sound.

sound waves with frequencies 20 hertz or lower are infrasonic and waves above 20,000hertz are ultra sonic!
wat does this even mean??

A simplistic answer is that: Sonic energy is sound waves recorded in decibels (dB).

Ultra sonic waves are a sound frequency that is oftentimes silent to humans. Research shows there is no long term negative affects due to exposure to these sounds.

Sonic technology is technology that utilizes the power of sound waves. This is seen most often for consumers in the form of sonic toothbrushes that use focused sound waves to create faster vibrations forÊthe brushes.
Sonic waves, or sound waves, are produced when an object vibrates, creating fluctuations in air pressure. These vibrations push and pull air particles, generating compressions and rarefactions that travel through the medium as waves. The frequency of these vibrations determines the pitch of the sound, while the amplitude relates to its volume. Ultimately, sound waves propagate through various media, including air, water, and solids.
