What is the benefit of sonar?
It helps find things underwater. Whales and dolphins use sonar to locate food and obstacles. Sonar is a useful tool in warfare: it can be used to locate and avoid obstacles. Sonar technology has allowed for safer sea travel. The assurance of safe travel attracts more travellers, thus bringing more income into the sea travel business. Sea travel is and was a driving force in the process of globalisation (this is basically the interconnectedness of the world), so, in summary, an impact/benefit of sonar on the world is that it was one of the driving forces of globalisation.
What is the technology that uses sound waves to find objects under water called?
SONAR (sound navigation and ranging)
Can a sonar machine identify the object showing up on the sonar?
Sonar (which stands for SOund NAvigation and Ranging) can be made to identify the object it pings on - if active sonar; if passive sonar, identify the object making the sound it picks up. The higher the frequency of the active sonar ping, the better the resolution - but the shorter the range. At higher resolutions, it is not hard for the sonar to identify the object it pings on. At lower frequencies, the range is greater but it is harder for the sonar to identify what is being pinged. Another benefit of active sonar is the range and direction of the target can be discerned. Passive sonar just listens to the ambient water. Identification of the sound source can be made if the frequencies of the target making the sound are known and identified in a database. One problem with passive sonar is that it is hard to know the range of the target making the sound, although the direction will be known. Water temperature and depth have a great effect on sonar, so this must be taken into account when calculating distance. Sonar is used in the Military, Geological Surveying, and the Medical field.
What are some technological applications of sound waves?
Sonar (or Sound Navigation and Ranging) is a type of technology that was designed to help with navigation, communication and locate objects underwater. Sonar projects sound waves then listens for the echo of the emitted sound waves to detect objects.

What is one technology oceanographers use today to explore nthe ocean floor?
One technology oceanographers use to explore the ocean floor is multibeam sonar. This advanced sonar system emits multiple sonar beams in a fan shape to create a detailed 3D map of the seafloor topography. Multibeam sonar helps scientists to accurately study the features and structures of the ocean floor.
What does WASSP stand for?
The acronym WASSP stands for Wide Angle Sonar Seafloor Profiler. It is a type of multibeam sonar technology used for seabed mapping and bathymetry in the marine industry.
Why is multibeam sonar more efficient than simple sonar at collecting data from the ocean floor?
Multibeam sonar can produce a wider swath of data by transmitting multiple sonar beams simultaneously, increasing coverage and efficiency. This allows for faster mapping of the ocean floor compared to single-beam sonar systems that require slower, sequential scanning. Additionally, multibeam sonar systems provide higher resolution and detail due to the multiple beams working in tandem.
How has sonar technology evolved from past to present?
Sonar technology has evolved from passive sonar systems used in World War I to active sonar systems that emit sound waves and detect their reflections. Modern sonar systems use advanced signal processing and computer algorithms for higher precision and improved target detection capabilities. Additionally, new developments in underwater acoustics have led to the use of multibeam sonar systems for mapping and imaging the seafloor with high resolution.
This activity simulates the technology used to map the seafloor. What is that technology called?
Sonar
What technology is used to explore Titanic's wreck?
Submarine technology, sonar technology, and underwater-robot technology
What device do you use to locate objects underwater?
A device commonly used to locate objects underwater is a sonar system, such as a side-scan sonar or a multibeam sonar. These devices emit sound waves into the water and then receive the echoes bouncing back from objects underwater, creating a detailed image of the seafloor or any objects present.
What is sonar technology used for?
It is used for detecting submarines under water.
