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.

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 the technology that uses sound waves to find objects under water called?
SONAR (sound navigation and ranging)
Why do you need sound?
We need sound to send information to our ears and brain. Sound is produced when an object vibrates. The air molecules around the object also vibrate. As long as vibrating objects are not in a vacuum they produce sound. So watch your ears.
What are sound devices used for?
Sound devices are used to output sounds and music from your computer.
Is a microcomputer used to view very small objects?
yes
What is used to locate objects under water by the reflection of sound waves?
sonar
What does sound technology use to locate objects?
SONAR
Which type kf sound wave is used by bats and whales in echolocation?
They use ultrasonic. The sound they use to locate objects that may be invisible.
How does sonar use echoes to locate objects?
Sonar uses echoes to locate objects by bouncing sound waves off them and detecting the echoes.
What is a method used by some animals bats for example that uses sound waves to help locate prey and other objects in the dark?
Echo
What is it called when bats, whales, and dolphins emit sound waves and interpret the reflect sound waves as a means to locate objects?
Sonar is a system that locates objects by transmitting sound waves and detecting the waves when they are reflected off of objects. Bats and many other animals, such as whales and dolphins, use natural sonar to navigate and capture
Is the national broadcasting system used to locate objects on earth?
False
Why do people use echolocation to locate objects?
it seems humans use echolocation to find certain specific things they really need or objects and mainly sound

How light energy like sound energy?
light energy is like sound energy because they both can locate any item in front of them and they both can reflect or absorbed by certain objects or t can pass through objects.
What are imaginary lines that are used to help locate places and objects?
latitude and longitude
How sound waves can be used to find underwater objects?
Sound travels through water. Sound reflects from objects with different densities. You can listen for the echoes.
