What Types of waves are used in echolocation?

As the name suggests, sonar uses sonic waves (sound). Typically, sonars use sounds with frequencies inaudible to human ear.Another answer:Actually, sonar uses a wide range of frequencies. Very low frequencies (100 Hz to 1 kHz) are used for long range detection and deep sea floor sounding. Midrange frequences (1 kHz to 10 kHz) are used for target identification. Ultrasonic frequencies (50 kHz and up) are used in navigation and commercial sonar devices like fish finders.
