A sonar cannon is a tool that is used to create a noise that is painful to crowds of people or even to animals. These cannons are sometimes also used to explore for oil under the ground by bouncing sound waves off of bedrock seeking holes in the rock.

When was the sonar invented by Lewis Nixon?

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.


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.

What were the two different types of sonar?

The two types of sonar are active and passive.Active sonar uses a transmitter, a device that converts electrical energy to sound energy, to send out sound waves. The sound waves travel through the water until they strike an object. The object reflects them in various directions. Some of the reflected waves return to the sonar, where they strike a receiver. Sonar determines distances by measuring the time taken for a sound wave to travel from the transmitter, reflect from the object, and travel to the receiver.Passive sonar receives sound waves given off by some other source, but does not transmit sounds. Passive sonar can therefore determine the direction of an object, but is not as effective as active sonar in determining its distance.Hope I cleared your doubt!- Harman Kahlon


Can sonar kill a diver?

Sonar can potentially harm or disorient a diver, but it is unlikely to directly kill them.
