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
