ultrasonics
High-frequency sound science
Ultrasonics is the branch of physics dealing with sound waves at frequencies above the range of human hearing—typically above 20,000 hertz.
The field encompasses both the study of these waves and their practical applications: medical imaging, industrial cleaning, sonar, and flaw detection in materials.
She specialized in ultrasonics and developed new diagnostic equipment.
