Ultrasound
Ultrasound is sound with a
frequency greater than the
upper limit of human
hearing, approximately 20
kilohertz (20,000 hertz).
Some animals, such as dogs,
dolphins, bats, and mice
have an upper limit that is

Doppler effect
The Doppler effect, named
after Christian Andreas
Doppler, is the apparent
change in frequency or
wavelength of a wave that is
perceived by an observer
moving relative to the
source of the waves. The

Acoustics
Acoustics is the branch of
physics concerned with the
study of sound (mechanical
waves in gases, liquids, and
solids). A scientist who
works in the field of
acoustics is an acoustician.
