Ultrasonic Waves

Ultrasonic waves are a type of sound wave with frequencies higher than what humans can hear—above 20,000 hertz. These waves travel through materials like air, water, or solids, and are used in various applications such as medical imaging (ultrasound scans), industrial testing, and cleaning. They work by emitting high-frequency sound pulses that reflect off objects or structures, allowing devices to create detailed images or detect flaws without invasive procedures. Ultrasonic waves are non-ionizing, meaning they don't carry harmful radiation, making them safe for medical diagnostics and other sensitive applications.
