Sonar Systems
Sonar systems use sound waves to detect and locate objects underwater. They emit short bursts of sound (pings) which travel through water, bounce off objects, and return to the source. By measuring the time it takes for the sound to return, sonar calculates the distance to the object. This technology is commonly used in submarines, fishing, and oceanographic research. In electroacoustics, sonar systems rely on microphones and speakers to convert sound into electrical signals and vice versa, allowing for the analysis and representation of underwater environments.

Sonar, which stands for Sound Navigation and Ranging, is a technology that uses sound waves to detect objects underwater. It works by sending out sound pulses (or clicks) and listening for the echoes that bounce back. By measuring how long it takes for the echoes to return, sonar can determine the distance to an object, such as a ship, underwater terrain, or marine life. Sonar systems are widely used in various applications, including navigation, fishing, and underwater research, helping to explore and understand the underwater environment effectively.

Sonar, short for Sound Navigation and Ranging, is a technology that uses sound waves to detect and locate objects underwater. It works by sending out sound pulses and measuring the time it takes for them to bounce back after hitting an object, such as a submarine or the ocean floor. This information helps determine the object's distance, size, and shape. Sonar is widely used in various applications, including fishing, underwater exploration, and navigation for ships and submarines, ensuring safe travel and effective resource management in marine environments.
