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.

What is the difference between ultrasound waves and microwaves?
Ultrasound waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Ultrasound waves are commonly used for medical imaging, while microwaves are often used for cooking and communication purposes. Ultrasound waves are typically non-ionizing, while microwaves can be both ionizing and non-ionizing depending on their frequency.
What waves have the shortest wavelenght and the highest frequency?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency among all electromagnetic waves. They are produced by the hottest and most energetic objects in the universe, such as pulsars and black holes.
Which waves are used in sonography?
Ultrasound waves are used in sonography, also known as ultrasound imaging. These waves are high-frequency sound waves that are emitted from a transducer and used to create real-time images of internal organs and tissues in the body.
What is the difference between an ultrasound and a sonogram?
Ultrasound is the name of the proceedure; a Sonogram is the picture image produced by an ultrasound scan.Therapeutic ultrasoud uses low frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into the injured tissue during rehabilitation. This form of ultrasound creates heat using the lower frequencies, and the heat will help heal the injury. These sound waves are sent into the body using a transducer with no intent or way to capture any return they may have. Thus, no image is created. The sound waves are instead used and converted into heat energy.Medical ultrasound used for imaging purposes, including pregnancy, uses higher frequency sound waves. The transducer (the small wand-like structure used during the exam on the skin surface) creates these sound waves, sends them into the body, and when they bounce off of structures and return to the transducer they are captured and converted to mechanical energy and displayed on the monitor.
Why are ultrasound waves partly reflected by body organs?
Ultrasound waves are reflected by body organs due to differences in acoustic impedance at tissue boundaries. When ultrasound waves encounter a boundary between tissues with different densities, some of the wave energy reflects back while some continues through, resulting in echoes that are used to create an ultrasound image.
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.
What is the difference between ultrasound waves and microwaves?

Ultrasound waves are commonly used for medical imaging, while microwaves are often used for cooking and communication purposes. Ultrasound waves are typically non-ionizing, while microwaves can be both ionizing and non-ionizing depending on their frequency.
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 jobs use ultrasound waves?
Doctors use ultrasound to check the health of an unborn baby.

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 sounds bat produce?
Ultrasound sound waves
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 name of the high frequency sound waves in an imaging process that are used to diagnose patient illness?
Ultrasound. Diagnostic ultrasound is the use of high-frequency sound waves to image anatomic structures and to detect the cause of illness and disease. Ultrasound moves at different speeds through the body's tissue, depending on the density of the tissue.
