Ultrasonic applied to sound refers to anything above the frequencies of audible sound, and nominally includes anything over 20,000 Hz. Frequencies used for medical diagnostic ultrasound scans extend to 10 MHz and beyond.

Ultrasound


What type of sound has a frequency too high to be detected by humans?

Ultrasound has a frequency higher than the upper limit that humans can detect, which is typically around 20,000 Hz. This type of sound is used in various applications such as medical imaging, cleaning, and communication.


What is ultrasonic wave?

An ultrasonic wave is a sound pressure wave that has a very high frequency. The frequency is higher that what humans can hear.


What is the lowest frequency of sound that most humans can hear?

Most humans can hear sound frequencies as low as 20 Hz. Below this frequency, the sound may be more felt than heard, especially at very high volume levels.


What is the ultrasound principle in Doppler ultrasonography?

The ultrasound principle is this: when a high-frequency sound is produced and aimed at a target, it will be reflected by its target and the reflected sound can be detected back at its origin.


How high or low a sound is percived?

Different animals can perceive sounds at different wavelengths. For example a dog whistle has a frequency which dogs can hear but is too high for humans. Furthermore, people's sensitivity to sound frequency changes with age. In general, ordinary range for humans is 20 to 20,000 Hz.

What type of wave is in a ultrasound use?

High frequency sound above 20,000 Hertz, which is inaudible to humans.


What does the high frequency of a sound wave determine?

The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch. So if there is high frequency it means that the sound will also be high pitched. If it is low frequency that means the sound will be low pitched.


How low or high a sound is its?

The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency. A high-pitched sound has a higher frequency, while a low-pitched sound has a lower frequency. The unit of measurement for frequency is hertz (Hz).


Is an echo a high or low frequency sound?

An echo can be either a high or low frequency sound, depending on the original sound that it reflects. The frequency of an echo is typically the same as the frequency of the original sound wave.


A high frequency sound will be heard as a low or high sound?
