Sonar was important for detecting underwater objects, such as submarines or shoals, by transmitting sound waves and listening for the echoes. This technology was particularly crucial during wartime for naval operations and underwater exploration. Additionally, sonar helped in mapping the ocean floor and studying marine life.

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 does the letters in sonar stand for?
SONAR = SOund Navigation And Ranging SONAR = Symantec Online Network for Advanced Response SONAR =Switch On No Activity Received SONAR = SOlar Near-surface Active-region Rendering Hope I helped.
Is sonar harmful?
Sonar has been linked to injury and to the stranding of whales and some other marine mammals. It is difficult to actually prove a "causal connection" between sonar and the injuries and strandings, but oceanographers and marine biologists are working on this issue. Laws have been passed recently in the U.S. and the military has been given a Presidential override on their use of sonar because it is too important to national security to restrict its use.
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
