Ultrasonics

  1. Ultrasonics refers to sound waves with frequencies above the human hearing range, typically greater than 20,000 Hz.
  2. Ultrasonic waves have short wavelengths, allowing them to be highly directional.
  3. These waves are used in medical imaging, including ultrasound scans for monitoring pregnancy and diagnosing medical conditions.
  4. In industrial applications, ultrasonics is employed for cleaning delicate objects and in welding plastics.
