this is not how they are made naturally but how they are made for diagnostic uses: ultrasound waves are made by applying a current that is similar to the natural frequency of the piezoelectric quartz crystal, when this is applied to the crystal they produce ultrasonic waves!
ADDED: As a point of detail, quartz is rarely if ever used now, replaced by much more sensitive, artificial, piezoelectric ceramics.

Which use of sound waves depends on the fact that sound waves are reflected?
ultrasound
How defects in a metal block can be detected using ultrasound?
The ultrasound waves are allowed to pass through metal block to which are fitted detectors to detect the waves. If the metal block has a very small defect, such as an air bubble or a crack, then the ultrasound waves are reflected from such spots. The reflected ultrasonic waves indicates that metal block is defective.
What waves have the shortest wavelenght and the highest frequency?
Mechanical waves . . . clinical ultrasound Electromagnetic waves . . . gamma rays
Waves are produced through what?
Waves can be produced by vibrations and electricity.
Which type of waves have a frequency of 100000 Hz?
Ultrasound or quite-low-frequency radio waves have.
What is Endorectal ultrasound?
Endorectal ultrasound (ERUS) is a procedure where a probe is inserted into the rectum and high frequency sound waves (ultrasound waves) are generated
Are there any uses of ultrasound in medicine?
yes when you get an ULTRASOUND when your pregnant it use ultrasound waves to show the image.
Which use of sound waves depends on the fact that sound waves are reflected?
ultrasound
What jobs use ultrasound waves?
Doctors use ultrasound to check the health of an unborn baby.
What is the functionality of ultrasound?
Ultrasound is typically performed by a trained ultrasound technologist, it involves using sound waves to get an image of the reproductive system.

What sounds bat produce?
Ultrasound sound waves
What is the difference between ultrasound and shock waves Eg a shockwave does damage to say a kidney stone but you can ultrasound the kidney without damaging it?
Ultrasound.
What is 4D Ultrasound?
Its an ultrasound that uses sound waves, which gives you a clearer image of what your baby looks like!
What is the difference between the sound waves and ultrasound?
Difference is in their frequency, audible sound waves is between 12 Hz and 20,000 Hz, Ultrasound waves is any sound that has a frequency beyond the 20,000 Hz limit
What are the people that do baby ultrasounds?
Ultrasound imaging, or diagnostic sonography, is offered at all our Insight Medical Imagining locations through Alberta. Using non-invasive sound waves instead of radiation, Ultrasound imagining is used to assess body structures. A sonographer uses an ultrasound transducer to generate sound waves that detect echoes produced in the body. A computer interprets the echo and provided detailed images for the radiologist, who will review the results and send a detailed report to your doctor.
