Sonar is an abbreviation of Sound Navigation and Ranging

  • It is used to detect objects submerged under water such as sea rocks and submarines, and for measuring their depth.

  • Ultrasonic waves from a transmitter are sent into the water.

  • When intercepted by some rock or submarine, they are reflected back and detected by a detector.

  • Measuring the time–interval between the transmission and reception of the Ultrasonic waves and knowing their speed in sea water, the depth of the rock or the submarine can be calculated.

  • The principle of Sonar is also used in detecting flaws in materials and in mechanical testing of materials without damaging them.
