    Study Notes

    What is SONAR?

    • SONAR stands for Sound Navigation and Ranging

    How SONAR Works

    • Uses ultrasonic sound waves to determine direction, distance, and speed of underwater objects
    • Consists of a transmitter and a receiver fitted on ships or boats
    • Transmitter produces and transmits ultrasonic sound waves
    • Waves travel through water, strike underwater objects, and get reflected back
    • Reflected waves are received by the receiver on the ship
    • Receiver converts ultrasonic sound into electrical signals

    Calculation of Distance

    • Time difference between transmission and reception is noted
    • Time and velocity of sound in water give the distance from the ship to the object

    Uses of SONAR

    • Determines the depth of the sea
    • Searches for underwater features such as hills, valleys, and icebergs
    • Locates submarines and sunken ships
