Which of these uses sound waves to measure the distance between objects underwater?
Sound waves bounce off the ocean floor and come back up to whatever emitted it. The time it takes for the sound wave to come back tells how far down it went. Doing this many times over and over, one can map out the ocean floor, and if the sound wave comes back relatively fast, that means there is something on the ocean floor.
How can you measure distance with sound waves?
Animals such as bats project sound waves at objects and use the time until the perception the reflected wave to determine the distance of the object. This is called echolocation. Humans have used the same principles to develop Sonar technology, which is used primarily underwater to detect objects under water (we have radar and plain sight to detect objects in air).
How do you use sound energy?
Sound waves are used as ultra sound for medical investigations, Sonar waves for underwater investigations and depths..
What are three features of sound waves?
Wavelength; this is the distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next.Frequency; this is the number of waves that pass a point in each second.Amplitude; this is the measure of the amount of energy in a sound wave.
How is sea beam used?
It maps ocean-floor features, sea beam relies on sonar which is the use of sound waves to detect & measure objects underwater.
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.

A divce that bounces sound waves off underwater objects and then records echoes of sound waves?
A really big iPhone
What does the speed of sound measure?

What tools are used to measure sound?
an oscilloscope is used to measure sound waves
What uses sound waves to measure the distance between objects underwater?
ULtrasound probing.Sonar equipment produces sound waves that are radiated from the source and sensitive microphones and amplifiers pick up any echoes that are produced from object in water, thus allowing the operators of the equipment to determine both the range and direction of objects that would otherwise be invisible by visual search.Sonar is an acronym for SOund Navigation And Ranging.
A devise that bounces sound waves off underwater objects is called?
SONAR (SOund Navigation And Ranging)
