sonar imaging
Sonar imaging is a technology that uses sound waves to create images of objects underwater. A device, called a sonar, emits sound pulses that travel through the water. When these sound waves hit an object, they bounce back to the device. By analyzing the time it takes for the echoes to return and their strength, sonar can determine the size, shape, and distance of the objects. This technology is widely used in fishing, marine exploration, and underwater navigation, providing valuable information about the underwater environment and helping to map the sea floor or locate submerged objects.

Sonar imaging is a technology that uses sound waves to create pictures of underwater objects or the seafloor. A device, usually mounted on a boat or underwater vehicle, sends out sound pulses that bounce off objects and return. By analyzing how long it takes for the echoes to return and their strength, sonar systems can map out landscapes, locate shipwrecks, or identify schools of fish. This technique is widely used in marine exploration, fishing, and naval operations, providing valuable insights into underwater environments without needing to see them directly.
