Sound navigation

Sound navigation refers to the use of sound waves to determine the location and movement of objects, particularly underwater. It involves emitting sounds and listening for their echoes as they bounce back from surfaces or objects. This technique is commonly used in sonar systems, which help submarines, ships, and marine researchers navigate and map the ocean floor. By analyzing the time it takes for sound waves to return, one can measure distances and create an understanding of the underwater environment, making sound navigation crucial for safe and effective exploration and operation in aquatic settings.
