What rhymes with radar?
Sonar, Lidar.
What was responsible for improvements in radar and sonar?
No one individual was responsible for improving both (or even either) technology. Radar and sonar were worked on by many investigators over decades to bring them along to the point where they are the effective, reliable tools we look to as we attempt to look at things in the sky, below the water and in the ground. What is arguably the most effective technology in bringing radar and sonar forward is the advancements in electronics, and in computer technology.
Give 5 differences between radar and sonar?
SONAR stands for Sound Detection and ranging, and RADAR stands for Radio Aid to Detection and Ranging. as described below (by richard), the principle is simple. Point a signal source in one direction, Listen for the echo to return, and time how long the return signal took, Divide it in two, and with some math, and knowing the speed of the wave, work out how far away the object is. Now if you make the sender/receiver directional. you can move it left and right, and see how wide the object is. If you can rotate it 360 degrees, you get a map of what is arround you. (Gavin)BY sending out a hi frequency pulse to an aircraft and detecting the timing for the return it can be calculate the speed and direction basically location of an aircraft. Sonar has the same principle applied timing of a response return PING to detect the location.Radar is a system that uses radio electromagnetic waves to provide a range to a target normal in air or a vacuum. RADAR propagates its radio waves at the speed of light. Sonar uses sound and propagates in pressure wave through water and the speed of sound. And provides a range to a target in a similar way, just at slow speed.
What is the principle of radar?
The basic idea behind radar is very simple: a signal is transmitted, it bounces off an object and it is later received by some type of receiver. This is like the type of thing that happens when sound echo's off a wall. However radars don't use sound as a signal. Instead they use certain kinds of electromagnetic waves called radio waves and microwaves. This is where the name RADAR comes from (Radio Detection And Ranging). Sound is used as a signal to detect objects in devices called SONAR (Sound Navigation Ranging).
What is the maximum frequency of a sonar before it effects wildlife?
The freqeuncy (or pitch) of the sonar is not generally the factor which is likely to effect wildlife, but the amplitude (how loud it is).
What do bats have sonar or radar?
Sonar
Do bats have sonar or radar?
Sonar
What are radar and sonar acronyms?
RADAR - Radio Detection and Ranging SONAR - Sound Navigation and Ranging
What rhymes with radar?
Sonar, Lidar.
How are sonar and radar different?
Sonar navigation uses sound waves; radar navigation uses electromagnetic waves (usually radio eaves).
Can sonar work in air?
NO. We call that radar.
Do you locate planes with sonar?
no, radar is used
What is special radar that works underwater?
sonar
Who uses sonar and a radar?
Sonar and radar's are used by the military, research groups, reconnaissance missions, searches for dead bodies and much more. It is a widely used technology.
What are the similarities between radar and sonar?
they are both used in navigation.
Did Henry hess invent sonar or radar?
seafloor spreading
What are sonar rays?
Sonar is a method of detecting underwater objects with sound pulses-like radar but with sound not microwaves
