Generally, Yes. Sonic Waves is a fancy way of saying "sound". Obviously, people cannot hear sounds whose frequency is outside of the human ear's sensitivity, such as bat echolocation, and deaf people cannot hear at all, but most things are within the human ear's capacity to receive and hear.

Why do animals often behave strangely before an eruption?

Before an eruption, the Earth's surface starts vibrating. This vibration causes infrasonic sound waves which are below the audible range of human hear (i.e. 20Hz-20kHz). But some animals can hear these infrasonic waves and are aware of the danger. So they start moving in a direction opposite to the source of these waves. Birds take to the air.


What do the shapes of animals ears have to do with animals hearing?

The shape of an animal's ears can help determine how well it can hear. Large ears tend to collect and funnel more sound waves to the ear canal, improving hearing sensitivity. The distinctive shapes of some animals' ears can also help them detect the direction of a sound more accurately.


How do animals hear sound?

Animals hear sound when sound waves enter their ear canal and vibrate the eardrum. This vibration is transmitted to the inner ear where it is converted into nerve signals that are sent to the brain for processing. Different animals have variations in their hearing structures that allow them to detect and interpret sounds in their environment.


Can animals hear sounds that humans can't hear?

yes, animals hear thousands of high pitched noises that we cant hear at all. hope this helps :)


Can animals hear the same sounds?

The sounds animals can hear is based on the frequency that the certain animal can hear. For example, dog's can hear at much higher frequencies then humans can, so if a sound is made that is above our capability of hearing, we will not hear the sound, but the dog will.

Can animals hear primary waves?

it is proven that most animals can hear waves through earthquakes. but humans can just feel the "bump".


Can humans hear radio waves?

As defined by research on the topic of the Electromagnetic Spectrum, no human can hear radio waves. No human can hear any part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum except gamma rays, which have enough energy to light up. If humans were to hear radio waves, they wouldn't need radios (except from the original form).


What is is radio sound heard through the use of?

Radio sound is heard through the use of radio waves, which are electromagnetic waves that can carry information from one point to another. These waves are transmitted from a radio station and received by a radio receiver, such as a radio or smartphone, which then converts the waves into sound waves that we can hear.


Radio waves do what to the radio so that we may heat them?

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that carry energy. When these waves are absorbed by the radio's antenna, they induce electrical currents in the circuitry of the radio. This process allows the radio to convert the energy from the radio waves into sound, enabling us to hear broadcasts. However, radio waves themselves do not heat; it is the conversion of that energy into electrical signals that allows the radio to function.


Radio waves and useful of radio?

how are radio waves be used- well they are used by sound waves like as in u can hear sond waves but radio waves is where you are in the car and u are listening for instance capital fm that is radio waves Hope It Helped Hennddyyyy:) :D


Can a human ear hear ultrasonic waves?

i think we could because we hear the radio


Radio waves broadcast by a radio sta-tion strike your radio and your ear.Infer whether the human ear can hear radio waves.What evidence supports your con-clusion?

The human ear cannot hear radio waves because they are electromagnetic waves with frequencies typically ranging from about 30 kHz to 300 GHz, which are far below the audible range for humans (20 Hz to 20 kHz). While radio waves can be detected by radio receivers, the ear is designed to respond only to sound waves, which are mechanical vibrations transmitted through air or other media. Therefore, the fact that we require a radio receiver to convert radio waves into audible sound supports the conclusion that the ear cannot directly hear radio waves.


Are radio waves a form of sound or light?

When you listen to the radio, you are hearing sound, which has no resemblance to light, radio waves, or x-rays. However, the sounds you hear are created in the radio receiver, using information that was carried to your location by means of radio waves.


Can radio waves be seen by animals or humans?

No nobody can see any type of waves

What type of energy transfer occurs in a radio?

In a radio, energy transfers through electromagnetic waves. The electrical signal from the radio station is converted into electromagnetic waves, which travel through space and are picked up by the radio's antenna, converting them back into sound waves that we can hear.


Where can one hear news headlines on a Sirius satellite radio?

One would hear news headlines on a Sirius satellite radio by adjusting the channel to one of the many news listening waves. Such radio waves may include CNN, HLN, and many other news channels.
