Language does not simply mirror reality, it helps create our sense of reality by giving meaning to events. Rather than thinking of ideas in coming up with words to express them, we usually think in words. Inaccurate use of language can harm speakersâ credibility by making them sound less intelligent or ill informed.
Ultrasound is high frequency sound wave with frequencies of 20 kHz or higher. (Fig. 1) Ultrasound has many practical applications. It is often used in cameras to measure distance and used in ships to measure sea depth.However, more interesting applications of ultrasound are in the field of medicine. Using an array of piezoelectric transducers, ultrasound can be used to image the internal organs.Fig. 1) Ultrasound has many practical applications.

Ultrasound s are sound waves with frequencies higher than the upper audible limit of human hearing. Ultrasound is not different from 'normal' (audible) sound in its physical properties, only in that humans cannot hear it.This limit varies from person to person and is approximately 20 kilohertz (20,000 hertz) in healthy, young adults. Ultrasound devices operate with frequencies from 20 kHz up to several gigahertz.n the nondestructive testing of products and structures, ultrasound is used to detect invisible flaws. Industrially, ultrasound is used for cleaning, mixing, and to accelerate chemical processes. Animals such as bats and porpoises use ultrasound for locating prey and obstacles.
