What is sonar and explain with the labbeled diagram
Answers
The word SONAR Stands for Sound Navigation And Ranging.
SONAR is an apparatus used to find depth of sea or locate under water things like shoals of fish, sunken ships etc.
Working procedure:
SONAR consist of two parts 1) a transmitter for emitting ultrasonic waves and 2) receiver for detecting ultrasonic waves.
Transmitter sends high frequency sound waves of about 50,000 Hz.This pulse wave travels down to bottom of sea.on striking bottom of sea , it gets reflected BaCk to ship in the form of echo. This echo produces an electrical signal in the receiver part of SONAR device.The SONAR measures the time taken by ultrasound wave to travel from ship to bottom of sea.
Speed = 2 ×distance / TIME (Because of echo).
As we know speed of sound in water is nearly 1500m/ s
We can calculate depth by
Depth = speed x time/ 2
THIS method of finding distance is also called as echo ranging.
Marine geologists use this method to determine depth of sea and locate under water hills and valley
Answer:Sonar (sound navigation ranging) is a technique that uses sound propagation (usually underwater, as in submarine navigation) to navigate, communicate with or detect objects on or under the surface of the water.
