As the name suggests, sonar uses sonic waves (sound). Typically, sonars use sounds with frequencies inaudible to human ear.
Another answer:Actually, sonar uses a wide range of frequencies. Very low frequencies (100 Hz to 1 kHz) are used for long range detection and deep sea floor sounding. Midrange frequences (1 kHz to 10 kHz) are used for target identification. Ultrasonic frequencies (50 kHz and up) are used in navigation and commercial sonar devices like fish finders.

What type of waves do echolocation use?
sound waves
What happens to echolocation when it hits an object?
Echolocation is actually a process- it can't hit anything. In echolocation, high frequency sound waves are sent out by an animal. When these sound waves hit an object, they bounce off of it and reflect back to the animal. The animal can gather information about the object from these sound waves such as its size, shape, and distance.
What is the process of using reflected sound waves to find objects?
ECHOLOCATION SONAR
What are the two types of waves used to predict the location of an epicenter?

Which of the senses is used in echolocation?
Auditory sense organ means Ears are used in echolocation.
What types of waves are used for communication?
electromagnetic waves they are basically used by all types only some have different names and are a type of it Like wireless is : Hertzian waves (electromagnetic waves) well the elctormagnetic waves can smd!
What types of waves are found in electromagnetic spectrum for studying the universe?
The waves are called "electromagnetic waves". All types of EM waves can be used to study the Universe.
Describe how animals use echolocation to survive?
"many animals use echolocation like whales bats etc.they send it by using ultrasonic waves (through water). the ultra sonic waves reach the object and bounce back to the whale or dolphin!
What are the two types of waves used to predict the location of an epicenter?
primary and secondary waves
Which of these animals uses echolocation to navigate?
Several types of animals use echolocation, including but not limited to: Dolphins Shrews Most bats and most whales. Also, two bird groups use their echolocation to navigate through caves. Echolocation is used by animals who usually can't see very well, or they live in an environment that is hard to see in the first place. (For example, the oceans.) They use it to call out, and the echoes of the calls are used to navigate around in their environment. It's also used to hunt as well as navigate.
What are types of waves are used in a night vision apparatus?

Types of waves that are used by mobile phones?
Microwaves.
