Ultrasonics is the study and application of the energy of sound
waves vibrating at frequencies greater than 20,000 cycles per
second, which is beyond the range of human hearing. Sound is
transmitted from one place to another by means of waves. The
general method involved in generating ultrasonic waves is the rapid
vibration of a dense material. The vibrations produced by this
material then cause air surrounding the material to begin vibrating
with the same frequency. These vibrations then spread out in the
form of ultrasonic waves. There are numerous practical applications
of ultrasonics. The first widespread use was in underwater
exploration.
Ultrasonic waves proved to be an excellent method for
determining the depth of water. Ultrasonics also are used to map
the shape of lake and ocean floors. Submarines use ultrasonic waves
to maintain secret contact with each other. In industry, ultrasonic
waves have been used in the testing of machinery and machine parts.
With ultrasonic technology, flaws in machinery can be detected and
repaired without having to take the machinery apart. Ultrasonic
methods have also been used to diagnose problems in the human body.
Because they can vibrate the particles through which they pass,
ultrasonic waves are often used to shake, or even destroy, certain
materials. An example of this procedure is ultrasonic
emulsification. In this technique, two liquids that normally do not
mix with each other (such as oil and water) are made to vibrate
until they are blended. This technique is also used to remove air
bubbles from molten metals before casting so that the finished
piece will be free of cavities. Doctors use ultrasound to break up
kidney stones and gallstones, thus avoiding invasive surgery.
Ultrasonic vibration also can be used to kill bacteria in milk
and other liquids. Some inventors are attempting to perfect
ultrasonic laundering, using high-frequency vibrations to shake
dirt and other particles out of clothing. Ultrasonic whistles,
which cannot be heard by human beings, are audible to dogs and are
used to summon them.
