Infrasonics and its Properties

The sound wave having frequency less than 20 Hz are called as infrasonics or infra sound.

INFRASONICS AND ITS PROPERTIES

 

The sound wave having frequency less than 20 Hz are called as infrasonics or infra sound.

For example, some animals, such as whales and giraffes communicate using infrasound over long distances. Avalanches, volcanoes, earthquakes, ocean waves, waterfalls and meteors generate infrasonic waves.

 

Properties

* Frequency range is less than 20 Hz.

* Infrasonic sounds are very low frequency sound.

* These are produced by those objects which vibrate very slowly.

 

For example, a vibrating simple pendulum produces infrasonic sound.

* It cannot be heard by human.

* They cannot travel through vacuum.

* They undergo reflection, refraction and absorption.

* Whales and elephants produce infrasonic waves.
