What can A sonar device that uses the echoes of the ultrasound underwater find?
it measures the depth under water
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 can we measure the depth of sea by using SONAR?
Simply by measuring the time it takes for the sonar 'ping' to return to the device that sent it. The speed of sound is constant - and dividing the time by the speed of sound gives the distance !
