Yes indeed, it is therefore distinguished from Radar which uses radio-wave emissions, hence Radio Detection( or direction) and ranging. Sonar is used on ships- though some Blimps used it in sonic rangefinders used in pin-pointing altitude and also to detect submarines. The German made device was called an Echolot ( Echo- Location plot) by the Germans and Sonicaltimeter by the USN boys. The idea was championed by Admiral Rosenthal, who saw it as an easy transition to use of Blimps in an anti-sub role. the British referred to SONAR as Asdic- Anti-Submarine Detection improvement committee, who developed the device. Porpoises, some whales, and it is understood seals ( Pinnipeds, not commandos!) use naturally existent Sonar, as Bats employ radar.
What else can I help you with?
Do sonar produces ultrasound waves to map and locate objects underwater?
Active sonar ping is audible, so is not ultrasonic. Passive sonar just listens, but it takes time to determine objects bearing, speed & direction of travel. There is ultrasonic sonar for short range detection such as mines and frogman.
Can sonar be used out of water?
Sonar technology relies on sound waves traveling through a medium, such as water, to detect objects. Sonar cannot be effectively used out of water because air does not transmit sound waves in the same way as water does, resulting in distorted or ineffective results.
Ultrasonic waves transmitted into and received from the test material in the form of repetitive bursts of acoustic energy what is this called?
This process is called ultrasonic testing. Ultrasonic waves are used to detect internal flaws or measure thickness in materials by sending pulses of sound waves into the material and analyzing the echoes that bounce back.
What to do to stop ultrasonic waves that are directed at your home or detect them and track them?
To stop ultrasonic waves directed at your home, you can use soundproofing materials like acoustic foam or heavy curtains. To detect and track ultrasonic waves, you can use a specialized ultrasonic detector or app that can pick up the frequencies emitted by the waves. You can then follow the source of the waves to track their origin.
What are related words for ultrasonic?
Sonar, ultrasound, high-frequency sound.
Which kinds of sound waves can be produced by bats?
Bats produce high frequency (also known as ultrasonic) sound waves, which they use as a type of sonar, to locate insects in the air.
What is sonar in a scientific definition?
SONAR stands for SOund Navigation And Ranging.SONAR is a device that uses ultrasonic waves to measure the distance , direction and speed of underwater objects.
Form of sonar used to detect and locate enemy submarines by means of ultrasonic waves?
Type your answer here... ASDIC
How do dolphins hear underwater?
they use SONAR. :)
What are ultrasonic sensors also known as?
Ultrasonic sensors are also known as transceivers but are more generally called transducers. Ultrasonic sensors work similar to radar or sonar which generate high frequency sound waves.
What do ultrasonic sensors do?
They are similar to radar or sonar. They evaluate attributes of a target by interpreting the echoes from radio or sound waves respectively.

Form of sonar used to locate enemy submarines by ultrasonic waves?
Due to their short ranges, ultrasonic (>20khz) frequencies aren't used for ship or submarines' primary Active Sonar systems. Though the actual frequencies used are classified, I can say that they're nowhere near the ultrasonic range. Submarines do employ ultrasonic frequency detection systems that are passive sonar based, but they're primarily for detecting active sonar from homing torpedoes. They're also annoying for detecting any bottle-nosed dolphins in the area when you're at Periscope Depth.

How do Airplanes use Sonar waves?
Airplanes do not use sonar waves. Sonar is a technology primarily used underwater to detect objects or measure distances by emitting sound waves. Airplanes generally use radar technology to detect and track objects in the sky.
