What is the system that uses the reflection of underwater sound waves to detect objects?
sonar(sound navigation and ranging)
Can you give an example of SONAR?
A sonar is Fitted into a ship to detect how deep the water is
What is sonar which research vessel first used sonar to map the mid-Atlantic ridge?
the Challenger
What is used to map mid ocean ridge?
sonar,is used to map mid-ocean ridges:]
What did scientist use to map the ocean floor?
sonar - by bouncing sound signals off the bottom of the ocean, they were able to map the depth of the ocean. Deep sea diving would take too long. Satellites were not in orbit until the 1970's and submarines were not necessary since sonar could be done from the surface on a boat.
What is the difference between Sonar and Ultrasound?
sonar is used to detect big penises
What is the difference between sonar and echo location?
Sonar location is in the water and echo location is in the air.
What is the difference between sonar and echo?
basically same but sonar uses ultta sonic waves and echo uses sound in air
What is the difference between sonar and echolocation?
Sonar is when Freya cartoonifies herself, whereas echolocation is because Georgie is cool. Much cooler than you. xoxo
What are the differences between side scan sonar multi-beam sonar?
Side scan sonar uses sonar to map the the ground below by emitting continuous sonar pulses while moving. The sound continuously reflects back to the system's receiver, which creates an image based on the energy of the signal received, where darker points in the image match things protruding from the ground and lighter spots indicate where there is nothing. It does not measure the depth. Side scan sonar is usually towed behind the vessel using it. Multibeam sonar is similar to side scan sonar, except that it is attached to the vessel (rather than being towed) and measures the time difference between sound emission and reception, rather than the energy of the incoming sound waves. Thus, it measures depth instead of making a picture.
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 is the difference between Doppler and Sonar?
Doppler is the name given to the falling (or rising) note heard when a tonal signal approaches and then recedes.Sonar may or may not use Doppler as part of its signal, but essentially a Sonar system emits a sharp chirp of signal and times its return period as an indication of the distance.Cleverly enough, some moths have evolved so that when they detect a (bats) sonar ping, their flight muscles turn them away from the sonar chirp. This is a reflex, not a trained reaction.
What are the similarities between radar and sonar?
they are both used in navigation.
Why cant sonar find the distance between the earth and the moon?
Sonar is a sound phenominon, it requires a liquid (water, air, etc) to work.
Which method of studying the ocean floors gives some degree of proximity but is efficient in terms of time as well?
sonar sonar sonar sonar SONAR

Which is more expensive a boat with sonar or a satellite with sonar?
sattelite with sonar
