High frequency sound waves hit objects which absorb or reflect the sound waves and then the waves bounce off the objects that reflect the signal (for example rocks on the ocean floor) and return to a sonar receiver. The difference is visible since there will be patches of unreturned signal in certain ares where the signal was absorbed (for example if the waves hit a whale, the blubber may very effectively absorb the signal leaving a blank patch of sonar screen in the shape of a whale)

Sonar is used to find?
Sonar (SOund NAvigation and Ranging) is used to find objects. Sonar is used to find ships, submarines, mines, and other objects in the Navy. Sonar is used in Medicine to find unusual tumors, organs, and cells. Sonar is used in Geology to find minerals, oil, rock formationsn, and water .

What tool is used for SONAR?
SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) primarily uses sonar systems that include transducers, which emit sound waves and receive echoes. These systems can be categorized into active and passive sonar. Active sonar sends out sound pulses and listens for their return, while passive sonar detects sounds made by objects in the water without emitting sound waves. Common tools used in sonar applications include echo sounders, hydrophones, and sonar arrays.
When was sonar first used?
