انفرا ساؤنڈ اور الٹرا ساؤنڈ کیا ہیں اور مختلف مقاصد کے لیے کیسے استعمال ہوتی ہیں؟

Solution & explanation

Infrasound is below about 20 Hz and can monitor large geophysical events. Ultrasound is above about 20 kHz and is used in imaging, SONAR, cleaning and flaw detection. These limits describe typical human hearing, not whether other animals can detect the waves.
