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
What else can I help you with?
The ability to reflect sound to identify objects is called?
echolocation
What is it called when objects reflect light?
It is called reflection. When objects reflect light, the light bounces off the surface of the object and into our eyes, allowing us to see the object.
What do dolphins use to locate objects?
Something called echo-location
What are objects that don't give out light called?
Objects that don't give out light are called "non-luminous objects." These objects reflect light that falls on them, making them visible to our eyes.
Science of unearthing and interpreting objects from past societies are?
Scientists that unearth and interpret objects from past societies are called archaeologists.
What are objects that do not transmit light called?
Objects that do not transmit light are called opaque objects. These objects absorb or reflect light, preventing it from passing through them. Examples include wood, metal, and concrete.
What is the process of detecting objects by bouncing sounds off of them is called?
its called echolocation or sonar. bats do it and so do dolphins

What the objects are called that don't reflect light?
Objects that don't reflect light are called non-reflective or light-absorbing. These objects appear dark because they absorb most of the light that reaches them, instead of reflecting it. Examples include black velvet, asphalt, and some types of paints.
What do you call objects that reflect the light from something else?
Those objects are called reflectors. They bounce light rays back in the direction from which they came.
What is an objects ability to reflect sunlight called?
An object's ability to reflect sunlight is called albedo. Albedo is a measure of how much of the sunlight that hits an object is reflected back into space. Objects with high albedo reflect more sunlight, while objects with low albedo absorb more sunlight.
What do you called a group a dolphins?
a group of dolphins is called a school of dolphins.
