What else can I help you with?
What instrument do we use to detect sound waves?
Sonar
Can you give an example of SONAR?
Sure! An example of SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) is its use in the military to detect submarines by sending out sound waves and listening for their echoes. This technology helps navies locate and track underwater targets using sound waves.
Why is it not possible to use sonar to determine the speed of an object travelling faster than the speed of sound?
Sonar uses sound waves to measure distances by calculating the time it takes for the sound waves to bounce back. However, when an object is traveling faster than the speed of sound, the sound waves emitted by the sonar system cannot catch up with the object to bounce back, making it impossible to accurately determine the speed of the object using sonar.
What is the system that uses the reflection of underwater sound waves to detect objects?
Sonar (Sound Navigation and Ranging) is the system that uses the reflection of underwater sound waves to detect objects. This technology is commonly used in naval navigation, fishing, and underwater mapping.
How did sonar help in understanding plate tectonics?
They could detect sound waves
How do dolphins hear underwater?
they use SONAR. :)
What instrument do we use to detect sound waves?
Sonar
How do sonar devices send out sound waves?
They use a machine
How do we use sonar?
Sonar is used to measure distances by transmitting sound waves and detecting their echoes as they bounce off objects. To use sonar, you typically send out sound waves from a source, wait for them to bounce back from objects in their path, and then measure the time it takes for the sound waves to return to determine the distance to the object.
Could fisherman use sonar?
Many species of sharks do not use sonar, as they have very effective senses, but some species are thought to. The hammerhead shark, in particular, is thought to use sonar waves detection.
How does sonar use echoes to locate objects?
Sonar uses echoes to locate objects by bouncing sound waves off them and detecting the echoes.
Why electromagnetic waves cannot be used in SONAR?
Electromagnetic waves cannot be used in SONAR because they do not travel well through water. Water absorbs and scatters electromagnetic waves, making them unsuitable for underwater communication and sensing. SONAR systems use sound waves, which can travel long distances in water and are better suited for detecting objects underwater.
Will using sonar kill you?
No, using sonar will not kill you. Sonar is a technology that uses sound waves to detect objects underwater and is commonly used in various applications such as navigation and fishing. It is safe for humans to use sonar equipment.
Do vampire bats have sonar?
No. SONAR (SOund Navigation And Ranging) is an acronym for a human technology that used for underwater navigation. Bats have the ability that may be similar to SONAR, but they do not use a machine and do not use it under water. They use their ultra sensitive hearing and brain processing to "see" in the dark with sound waves, sort of like how we see with light waves.
How do submarines target underwater objects?
They use Sonar to send sound waves to the bottom of the oceans.
How did sonar change society?
Your fathers mustache is now responsive to the waves SONAR detects.
How does sonar detect underwater objects?
Sonar works by sending out sound waves that travel through the water and bounce off objects. The sonar system then detects the echoes of these sound waves as they bounce back and calculates the distance, size, and shape of underwater objects based on the time it takes for the echo to return.
