Sonar was never 'invented' as such, it was adapted from nature.
Bats, many deep water fish and small bugs rely on sonar. Bats for example are almost all blind and guage their position relative to their prey based on how long it takes for their high pitched calls to bounce off surrounding objects and get back to them.
Lewis Nixon did not invent sonar. Sonar was actually invented by Reginald Fessenden in 1913. Sonar stands for sound navigation and ranging, which is a technique that uses sound propagation to navigate, communicate with, or detect objects underwater.
Sonar was gradually developed and improved over many years, but the first operational form of sonar as we now know it goes back to about 1918.
I believe that Lewis Nixon was 45 when he invented sonar. He was born in 1861. Kelly Nixon Mayr
The scientist who is credited with inventing sonar is Paul Langevin, a French physicist. In 1915, Langevin developed the first practical application of sonar as a way to detect submarines during World War I. His work laid the foundation for the use of sonar technology in various fields, including marine navigation and underwater exploration.
In 1915, Paul Langévin invented the first sonar type device for detecting submarines called an "echo location to detect submarines" using the piezoelectric properties of the quartz.

The Sonar device was invented in 1906 by Lewis Nixon. -T
in 1912
it didnt
It was Lewis Nixon who invented the very first sonar-type listening device in 1906.

The 1925 Meteor Sonar was invented by Albert Beaumont Wood, a British engineer and inventor. His work with sonar technology significantly contributed to advancements in underwater acoustics during that time.

A Canadian inventor named Reginald Fessenden invented SONAR in the early 20th century.

The LAtin word for sound and noise is sonitus. There was not a word for sonars. The Romans did not have sonar. It was invented in the 1930s. Additionally, SONAR isn't a word, it's an acronym: SOund Navigation And Ranging.
i would guess ww2 to detect enemy subs
