Practical Applications

## Making Waves in Tech Sound waves aren't just for music—they're used in medical imaging, navigation, and entertainment. ### Cool Uses of Sound - **Ultrasound:** Doctors use high-frequency sound waves to see inside the body. - **Speakers and Microphones:** Convert electrical signals to sound and vice versa. - **Sonar:** Submarines and ships use sound to detect objects underwater. Understanding sound waves helps invent and improve amazing technology!

Examples

  • Using an ultrasound machine to see a baby's heartbeat.
  • Voice assistants like Alexa or Siri recognizing your commands.
