Sonar uses electricity, so the source of energy is either a generator or a battery.

What is the differences of an active sonar and passive sonar?

Active sonar sends a signal out from a source and when it encounters an object the signal reflects back to the source. This can be detected by the object it is reflecting off of like a ship or submarine. Passive sonar is simply putting a microphone in the water and listening. It is also undectable.


What were the two different types of sonar?

The two types of sonar are active and passive.Active sonar uses a transmitter, a device that converts electrical energy to sound energy, to send out sound waves. The sound waves travel through the water until they strike an object. The object reflects them in various directions. Some of the reflected waves return to the sonar, where they strike a receiver. Sonar determines distances by measuring the time taken for a sound wave to travel from the transmitter, reflect from the object, and travel to the receiver.Passive sonar receives sound waves given off by some other source, but does not transmit sounds. Passive sonar can therefore determine the direction of an object, but is not as effective as active sonar in determining its distance.Hope I cleared your doubt!- Harman Kahlon
