What is the difference between Sonar and Ultrasound?
sonar is used to detect big penises
Can sonar be used out of water?
sonar can not be used outside water it is used under water to transmit sound waves through ultrasonic pulses
What are human uses for sonar?
1) sonar waves are used for underwater surceillance and measurements (depth) 2)visualising images in utero-ULTRASONOGRAPHY. 3)sonar is used for treatment in physiotherapy
Why light cannot be used in SONAR?
SONAR is an acronym for Sound Navigation And Ranging. LIDAR would use light.
What apparatus is used to locate a submerged object?
Sonar
What instrument is used to image objects underwater?
Robotic submersibles, sonar, satellites, coring machines, and magnetometers.
What are the differences between side scan sonar multi-beam sonar?
Side scan sonar uses sonar to map the the ground below by emitting continuous sonar pulses while moving. The sound continuously reflects back to the system's receiver, which creates an image based on the energy of the signal received, where darker points in the image match things protruding from the ground and lighter spots indicate where there is nothing. It does not measure the depth. Side scan sonar is usually towed behind the vessel using it. Multibeam sonar is similar to side scan sonar, except that it is attached to the vessel (rather than being towed) and measures the time difference between sound emission and reception, rather than the energy of the incoming sound waves. Thus, it measures depth instead of making a picture.
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.
What is side scan sonar?
a sonar system that is used to efficiently create an image of large areas of the sea floor. it emits conical or fan-shaped pulses down toward the seafloor across a wide angle perpendicular to the path of the sensor through the water.
What has the author Jonathan Milton Berkson written?
Jonathan Milton Berkson has written: 'A side-scan sonar investigation of small-scale features on the floor of southern Lake Michigan' -- subject(s): Sonar, Hydrographic surveying

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 .
Can sonar use in periscope depth?
Yes sonar can be used at periscope depth. Surface ships also have sonar arrays on them. They are usually used to detect submarines.
What is a sonar map?
A sonar map is a visual representation of the data collected by sonar technology. It shows underwater structures, terrain, and objects by detecting sound waves that bounce off underwater surfaces and return to the sensor. Sonar maps are commonly used for creating underwater maps, monitoring marine environments, and navigation.
What is used to map mid ocean ridge?
sonar,is used to map mid-ocean ridges:]
How are echoes used to measure distances under water?
H E Edgerton, improved greatly on the stroboscope and this was made widely available by General Electric. Strobes had been invented more than a hundred years earlier in Belgium. He then went on to improve sonar, by introducing the element of 'side-scan' sonar, with which many pictures of the ocean floor are made. These have much more resolution and display than 'ping' sonar.
