nientaajuudet

Nientaajuudet, also known as non-audible frequencies, refer to sound waves that are inaudible to the human ear. The human ear can typically detect sounds within the range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, but nientaajuudet can exist below 20 Hz or above 20,000 Hz. These frequencies are often used in various applications due to their unique properties.

In the lower frequency range, below 20 Hz, infrasound is the term used. Infrasound waves are typically produced by large-scale events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and meteor impacts. They can also be generated by human-made sources like large speakers or industrial machinery. Infrasound can sometimes be felt as a low-frequency vibration rather than heard.

In the higher frequency range, above 20,000 Hz, ultrasound is the term used. Ultrasound waves are used in medical imaging, such as ultrasound scans, as well as in various industrial and scientific applications. Ultrasound can also be used for cleaning purposes, as the high-frequency waves can help remove dirt and debris from surfaces.

Nientaajuudet can have both beneficial and potentially harmful effects. For example, infrasound can be used to study the Earth's atmosphere and seismic activity, while ultrasound is used in medical treatments. However, exposure to high levels of infrasound or ultrasound can cause discomfort or even damage to the ears and other tissues. Therefore, it is important to use these frequencies responsibly and within safe limits.
