sonický

Sonický refers to anything related to sound or vibrations. It is often used in scientific and technical contexts to describe phenomena or devices that operate with sound waves. The term is derived from the Latin word "sonus," meaning sound.

In physics, sonický describes the range of frequencies audible to the human ear, typically between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz. Sounds outside this range are termed infrasonic (below 20 Hz) or ultrasonic (above 20,000 Hz). Sonický technology is employed in various applications, including medical imaging (ultrasound), cleaning (ultrasonic cleaners), and non-destructive testing.

The term can also be used more broadly to describe anything characterized by speed or intensity, often implying a rapid or forceful action. For example, a "sonický boom" is the sound associated with an object traveling through the air faster than the speed of sound. Similarly, "sonický šroubovák" is a fictional device from the television series Doctor Who, renowned for its sonic capabilities in manipulating and affecting various objects. This usage highlights the popular, albeit fictional, association of sonic technology with advanced and versatile tools.
