Sonar (Sound Navigation And Ranging) works by emitting sound waves into the water and then detecting the reflected sound waves that bounce back from objects in the water. By measuring the time it takes for the sound waves to return, the distance to the object can be calculated. By analyzing the intensity and frequency of the returning sound waves, the size, shape, and composition of the object can also be determined. Sonar systems can be used for various purposes such as detecting underwater objects, mapping the ocean floor, and tracking underwater movements.
