What Are Ultrasonic Waves?
- Ultrasonic waves are sound waves that are so high-pitched that humans cannot hear them.
- Humans can hear sounds between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (this is called the audible range).
- Ultrasonic waves have frequencies higher than 20,000 Hz, which makes them inaudible to our ears.
How Are Ultrasonic Waves Used?
- Bats: Use ultrasonic waves to "see" in the dark (echolocation).
- Dolphins: Use them to communicate and navigate underwater.
