  • Let's start with the obvious. Ultrasound is used in sonography- looking at human babies in the mother's womb. Ultrasound can be used to work out how old the baby is, determine its location, find the location of the placenta, determine the sex of the baby (male or female), check for heartbeat, check for normal fetal growth and check for any abnormalities. Note that the results from an ultrasound are occasionally wrong. Some people are 'surprised' when they have a girl after the ultrasound told them that they would have a boy!
  • In industry, ultrasound is used to determine how thick objects such as metals and plastic are.
  • Ultrasound has been shown to work with antibiotics in killing bacterial cells.
  • Bacteria, particularly those in sewage, can be disintegrated (killed) by using ultrasonic waves.
  • Believe it or not, ultrasound can be used to clean teeth. Dental hygienists use ultrasound.

How is sound energy used today?

Sound energy is used today in various ways, such as in music and entertainment through speakers and headphones, in ultrasound technology for medical imaging and therapy, and in various industrial applications like ultrasonic cleaning and welding. Additionally, sound energy is utilized in communication systems like telephones and public address systems.


What Subsonic frequency and Hypersonic?

subsonic is lower than 20Hz, and hypersonic(aslo called ultrasonic freq.)is higher than 14000Hz-16000Hz(you cant hear ultrasonic freq.,some people hear 50-14000,some 150-16000, even some like me hear 20-16500)my specter of hearing freq.is 32-16347Hz(I have been on tests)


If you wished to produce a sound with a wavelength in air equal to the length of the room 5 meter What would be its freqquency?

The frequency of a sound wave is given by the formula: frequency = speed of sound / wavelength. The speed of sound in air at room temperature is about 343 m/s. The wavelength of 5 meters gives a frequency of 343 / 5 = 68.6 Hz.


The speed of sound in water is 1430 meters per second Find the wavelength of a sound with a frequency of 286 Hz traveling through the water?

The formula to calculate wavelength is: wavelength = speed of sound / frequency. Plugging in the values: wavelength = 1430 m/s / 286 Hz = 5 meters. Therefore, the wavelength of the sound wave traveling through the water is 5 meters.


Name 5 things sound can travel through?

Sound can travel through air, water, solids (such as metal or wood), liquids, and gases.

Whether the sound produced by a seconds pendulum is infrasonic or ultrasonic?

Infrasonic denotes any sound that is at a frequency below the human capability of hearing, this is around 5-25Hz. Ultrasonic on the other hand is, conversely, a frequency that is above the human hearing range (over 20,000Hz).
