What is the difference between sonar and echo?
basically same but sonar uses ultta sonic waves and echo uses sound in air
Why is echo important?
they are uses in two ways sonar and sound waves. Sonar to find where your baby is inside you, and sound waves to know if there is anything under the boat.
When was the first sonar invented?
In 1915, Paul Langévin invented the first sonar type device for detecting submarines called an "echo location to detect submarines" using the piezoelectric properties of the quartz.
How does sonar system measure distance?
Sonar works by sending a pulse of ultrasound through water. It then listens and detects the pulse if it reflects back from a surface. The time is measured (electronically) between sending the pulse and hearing the retured echo. Knowing the speed at which sound travels through water, it can be calculated how far the returned echo has travelled and hence distance of the object.
How are sonar and radar different?
Sonar navigation uses sound waves; radar navigation uses electromagnetic waves (usually radio eaves).
What is the difference between sonar and echo location?
Sonar location is in the water and echo location is in the air.
What is the difference between sonar and echo?

Sonar technology is based on the echo-ranging behavior of?
bats
What are the types of echo sounder?
The types of echo sounders include single beam echo sounders, multi-beam echo sounders, and side-scan sonar. Single beam echo sounders are simpler and used for shallow water depths, while multi-beam echo sounders can cover a wider swath and provide more detailed bathymetric data. Side-scan sonar is used to produce images of the seafloor.
When is it echo considered as useful?
Echo is caused due to reflection of sound and it has major applications in SONAR, which is used by submarines or planes to detect other objects
Why is echo important?
they are uses in two ways sonar and sound waves. Sonar to find where your baby is inside you, and sound waves to know if there is anything under the boat.
What are the different type of sonar?
The two different types of sonar are passive and active.
How will a sonar echo help you to find Nessie?
Just go in the ocean, $)X (Qwerty Keypad) with a partner and you will find the Nessie, as it will come to you. :P i am a different person and this one is wrong
How is sound used to locate objects?
Echo location: You send out a directional high frequency sound. The sound bounces back in a slightly different way and at a slightly different time from different objects at different distances. You detect the differences with your Echo Locator device and that's how you can locate where objects are and how far away they are. Examples: Its how SONAR on a Navy Destroyer or Helicopter SONAR Pod detects submarines under water. Its how a fishing boats "Fish Finder" works. (A kind of SONAR) This is how BAT's fly at night or in the dark. (Very high pitched squeaks) Its how Dolphins locate prey to eat and how they detect things in murky water.
How is sonar and echolocation alike?
An echo is like a sonar because they both reflct the sound they cause. The sonar is useful to the navy army to find out where the lost ships are located, so basically they are navigating the exact location of ships and sumbarines. An echo as you can see can be most used when screaming in the gym or an enormous place with no one in there. I hope this helped you.

What do bats use to hunt?
Echo location, also called SONAR. This is just like the pinging you hear in a submarine movie
