Which instrument used to measure the sound under the water?
Sonar detector.
Which type of device emits a sound wave to measure to the ocean floor?
SONAR
What is the Measurement device for distance and length?
a ruler or measuring tape yard stick carpenter's square caliper micrometer telescoping gauge surveyor's chain digital laser "tape measure" digital ultrasonic "tape measure" light rangefinder laser rangefinder telescopic measuring wheel map-measure wheel odometer sonar radar
How is sonar used to map the earth?
Sound waves can travel much faster from one point to another. And nobody has to be on the other end of the measuring stick. Sound waves are far more accurate for measuring these vast distances.
The system of using sound to measure distance is called what?
Sonar.
A sonar system measrues distance by determining the?
time it takes for sound waves to bounce off a surface
What is sonar in a scientific definition?
SONAR stands for SOund Navigation And Ranging.SONAR is a device that uses ultrasonic waves to measure the distance , direction and speed of underwater objects.
What does sonar measure?
Sonar is measured in sound
What is included in the product group Sonar Systems?
airborne, surface ship, and submarine-based sonar systems including depth-finding equipment, guidance hydrophones, sonabuoys, sonar fish finders, navigation and mapping sonar, and anti-submarine sonar equipment
How can we measure the depth of sea by using SONAR?
Simply by measuring the time it takes for the sonar 'ping' to return to the device that sent it. The speed of sound is constant - and dividing the time by the speed of sound gives the distance !
What is the correct definition of sonar?
1. A system using transmitted and reflected underwater sound waves to detect and locate submerged objects or measure the distance to the floor of a body of water.2. An apparatus, as one in a submarine, using sonar.3. Echolocation.http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sonar
What are some of the advances in nautical and marine search and detection technology?
