SONAR - sends out a pulse of sound... The resulting reflected sound is analysed to form a 'picture' of what's around the vessel.

Exactly the same. Sonar is Sound. We use the word sonar to indicate what use that the sound is put to- not to differentiate it from sound its self.


Why light cannot be used in SONAR?

Light cannot be used in SONAR because it is quickly absorbed and scattered in water, limiting its range and effectiveness for underwater imaging and communication. Sound waves, on the other hand, travel much further in water and are better suited for SONAR applications.

Do vampire bats have sonar?

No. SONAR (SOund Navigation And Ranging) is an acronym for a human technology that used for underwater navigation. Bats have the ability that may be similar to SONAR, but they do not use a machine and do not use it under water. They use their ultra sensitive hearing and brain processing to "see" in the dark with sound waves, sort of like how we see with light waves.

How do we use sonar?

Sonar is used to measure distances by transmitting sound waves and detecting their echoes as they bounce off objects. To use sonar, you typically send out sound waves from a source, wait for them to bounce back from objects in their path, and then measure the time it takes for the sound waves to return to determine the distance to the object.
