No. Electromagnetic waves are part of a spectrum of energy waves that include radio waves, infra red, visible light through to ultraviolet and microwaves and gamma radiation. Ultrasound waves are high frequency (beyond human hearing range) that are generated by vibration of crystals. They are mechanical in nature - like vibrations in the air or water. They need a substance to travel through. Hope it helps!

Why ultrasonic waves are not electromagnetic waves?
No. They are mechanical waves, ultrasonic waves are sound waves and require a medium for propagation. The word ultrasonic denotes that they have a frequency above the audible range (above 20 KHz).
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum does the ultrasonic wave falls into?
An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.
How can you trace ultrasonic waves?
What?! Trace ultrasonic waves? Are you one hundred per cent cuckoo?! Why would anyone trace ultrasonic waves these days??
Can ultrasonic wave pass through 1Cm thick iron plate?
Yes. Ultrasonic waves can pass through metal. The only difference between "normal" sound waves and ultrasonic waves is that we cannot hear ultrasonic waves. However, they behave the same.
Which waves are used in sonography?
ultrasonic waves
What is the reason for ultrasonic waves not being in the form of electromagnetic waves?
Ultrasonic waves are high frequency sonic waves. They're sound, which is mechanical energy. Electromagnetic waves are waves of electromagnetic energy, like radio waves or light. Mechanical energy is different from electromagnetic energy, hence the reason for ultrasonic waves not taking the form of electromagnetic waves.
Are ultrasonic waves called as electromagnetic wave?
No ultrasonic waves are not a form of electromagnetic wave. Ultrasonic waves are nothing more than high frequency sound waves. They can be made with a suitable speaker or transducer.
Why ultrasonic waves are not electromagnetic waves?
No. They are mechanical waves, ultrasonic waves are sound waves and require a medium for propagation. The word ultrasonic denotes that they have a frequency above the audible range (above 20 KHz).
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum does the Ultrasonic wave falls into?
it lies b/w radio waves n cosmic waves

Are ultrasonic waves and electromagnetic waves safe for humans?
Yes and no. For both it depends both on the frequency and dosage received in the exposure. Anything is lethal at high enough dosage!
Which animal can hear ultrasonic waves?
whale can hear ultrasonic sound waves.

Can ultrasonic waves be polarized?
No. Only transverse waves can be polarized Ultrasonic wasves are sound waves, therefore are longitudinal.
Can ultrasonic wave pass through 1Cm thick iron plate?
Yes. Ultrasonic waves can pass through metal. The only difference between "normal" sound waves and ultrasonic waves is that we cannot hear ultrasonic waves. However, they behave the same.
Which waves are used in sonography?

What has the author Christopher Dennis John Emin written?
