How is sound used to locate objects?

Echo location: You send out a directional high frequency sound. The sound bounces back in a slightly different way and at a slightly different time from different objects at different distances. You detect the differences with your Echo Locator device and that's how you can locate where objects are and how far away they are. Examples: Its how SONAR on a Navy Destroyer or Helicopter SONAR Pod detects submarines under water. Its how a fishing boats "Fish Finder" works. (A kind of SONAR) This is how BAT's fly at night or in the dark. (Very high pitched squeaks) Its how Dolphins locate prey to eat and how they detect things in murky water.

Why you could not locate the source of sound inside sea?

We locate the direction of a sound because the sound reaches one of your ears before it reaches the other. Under the sea, the speed of sound is several times faster than in the air; this will make the time difference too small - apart from the fact that it confuses our brain, if we do detect a slight difference.We locate the direction of a sound because the sound reaches one of your ears before it reaches the other.
