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!

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.


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.


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.


Can ultrasonic waves be polarised?

No, ultrasonic waves cannot be polarized because they are mechanical waves that oscillate in a direction perpendicular to their direction of propagation. Polarization only applies to electromagnetic waves.


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).


Can ultrasonic waves be polarized?

No, ultrasonic waves cannot be polarized because they are mechanical waves that propagate through a medium by vibration and compression, unlike electromagnetic waves which can be polarized due to their transverse nature.


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.


Why is ultrasonic not how energy is transferred from the sun to the earth?

Ultrasonic waves are not how energy is transferred from the sun to the Earth because ultrasonic waves are sound waves with frequencies too high for humans to hear. The energy from the sun reaches the Earth through electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of visible light and heat. This energy travels through space in the form of photons, not as mechanical waves like ultrasonic waves.


What is the standard value of velocity and wavelenght of ultrasonic waves in benzene?

The standard value of velocity of ultrasonic waves in benzene liquid is 1260 m/sec.


Explain how ultrasonic waves can be produced in the laboratory?

Ultrasonic waves can be produced in the laboratory using a device called an ultrasonic transducer. The transducer converts electrical energy into mechanical vibrations, which generate the ultrasonic waves. These waves can be used for various applications, including medical imaging, cleaning, and material testing.
