With special electronically driven crystals, it is possible to produce mechanical waves at any frequency up to a few million Hertz (cycles per second). If the sound waves are above 20kHz (the maximum humanly audible frequency) they are called ultrasonic waves. Because of their short wavelength, ultrasonic waves can be focused onto small areas and can be imaged much as visible light. Ultrasonic waves penetrate tissue and are scattered and absorbed within it. Using specialized techniques called ultrasound imaging, it is possible to form visible images of ultrasonic reflections and absorptions. Therefore, structures within living organisms can be examined with ultrasound, as with X-rays. Ultrasonic examinations are safer than X-rays and often can provide as much information. In some cases, such as in the examination of a fetus and the heart, ultrasonic methods can show motion, which is very useful in such displays.

Here are a few:

Ultrasonic cleaning

Ultrasonic motion detection

Ultrasonic welding

Ultrasonic sonography

Ultrasonic communication

Ultrasonic destruction

Heart exams

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.
