Sonars were used to detect any objects that got into the detection field of the sonar. By this, the military could detect enemy submarines etc., which they couldn't see normally because of the opacity and/or darkness of the water.

Similarities and differences between sonograms and sonars?

Sonograms and sonars both use sound waves for imaging purposes, but they differ in their applications. Sonograms are used in medical imaging to visualize internal body structures, while sonars are used in navigation and detecting objects underwater. Both technologies involve emitting sound waves and analyzing the returning signals, but they are designed for distinct purposes.

What is sonar frequency?

The frequencies on which sonar is used vary widely. Human hearing is usually cited as ranging as from 20 cycles per second (Hertz) to 20,000 cycles per second. There are many sonars that use frequencies in the 20 to 20,000 Hertz range. In general, the sonars that are used for short range underwater applications operate on a slightly higher frequency than those that are designed to look over long distances. But there are a lot of sonars which use frequencies far outside the range of human hearing. Medical imaging is the most popular use of sonar. The range of frequencies used by these devices range from 2 million cycles per second to 18 million cycles per second. These frequencies are far above what humans can hear.
