High-Power Ultrasound
The large variety of applications of ultrasound means that producing an exhaustive list is not possible. Ultrasound should be considered a particular form of energy with multiple properties depending on the way in which it is used.
The energy transmitted by power ultrasound is able to alter the properties of the media that it comes into contact with.
The table below shows the main effects induced and some applications:
