What are Ultrasonic waves?

• These are sound waves whose frequencies are higher than those of waves normally audible to the human ear.
• The angular frequencies of the ultrasonic waves produced in laboratories lie from about 105 sec−1 to about 3 × 109 sec−1, the former value representing the limit of audibility of the human ear.
