To our knowledge, the amplitude of the echo isn't used in the determination of
the range to the target. The amplitude depends on the size, shape, and surface
composition of the target, so it's not a reliable indicator of the distance. The distance
is determined primarily by measuring the time delaybefore the echo returns to the
source of the sound.

The ability to reflect sound to identify objects is called?
echolocation
What are two factors that can affect a echo?
distance and state(or simply concentration of molecules per dm^3)
Which of the following properties of sound is the most similar to the brightness of light?
Both sound and light waves reflect. Sound waves reflect off of objects to create an echo. Light waves reflect off of objects and point the light in another direction.
What do you call the repetition of sound caused by the reflection of sound waves?

How is an echo different from echolcation?
Whilst echoes are sound waves bouncing off, echolocation is when a sound is brought out by a predator, and they sense how it echoes. Through this way, predators, like the bat, can find the location of their prey without using eyesight.
Do birds use echo location?
No only bats use echolocation
What are the factors that affect acoustics of a building?
Seven factors can affect the acoustics of a building. they are 1.Reverberation time 2.loudness 3.Echo 4.Echelon effect 5.Focusing 6.Resonance 7.Noise Seven factors can affect the acoustics of a building. they are 1.Reverberation time 2.loudness 3.Echo 4.Echelon effect 5.Focusing 6.Resonance 7.NoiseM.Senthil KumarAsst.Professor / Physics Dept.,Karunya University
What are some Useful and not so useful echo?
A useful echo is echolocation, which is used by marine animals such as dolphins to locate and then hunt their prey
What is echo location?
Echolocation is the ability to locate objects by bouncing sound waves off of them, and then measuring the time taken for an echo to return and calculating the direction the echo came from.
Can blind people have echo location?
There was one boy who did clicking sounds, like echolocation.
The ability to reflect sound to identify objects is called?
echolocation
What is a kid friendly definition of echolocation?
Finding out where something is by seeing how long it takes for and echo to return.
Why do some animals use echolocation?
Echolocation is echo location, meaning they move around using vibrations coming off of objects around them so they locate using echos
What are two factors that can affect a echo?
distance and state(or simply concentration of molecules per dm^3)
What does echolocation mean for kids?
it means that determining the location of something by measuring the time it takes for an echo to return from it
Do snakes use echolocation?
Not usually, although some owls seem to screech to reveal other animals. Bats (flying mammals) are the ones that send out sound waves using their mouth or nose. When the sound hits an object, an echo comes back. The bats can identify an object and its distance by the echo. They can even tell the size and shape from its echo. Most bats use echolocation to navigate in the dark and find food.
Do dolphins use echo sounding?
Dolphins use echo location mainly to search for food. They will send out the sound and once it hits the fish, the sound waves bounce back to the dolphin forming a picture for them. As soon as they receive the click they send out another to measure the distance. With echo location a dolphin can determine size, shape, and distance of an object. Improvement of the above answer by Sims3Legend: Actually, dolphins use it, yes to search for food, but also to see objects from hundreds of yards away, so they can swim round them. They can determine the following of an object using echolocation: Size, Shape, Distance, Speed, Direction and Internal Structure(depening on the object,)
