Applications that use reflected sound waves:
- detecting diseases (medical ultrasound/echography)
- locating damaged parts (ultrasonic non‑destructive testing)
- monitoring fetal development (obstetric ultrasound)

Not reflected (use cavitation, heating, or focused shock waves): cleaning lenses (ultrasonic cleaning), destroying cancer cells (HIFU), breaking down kidney stones (lithotripsy).
