Sonar is a way of communicating, navigating, and detecting objects by using sound propagation. For the remainder of this lesson, we will focus on underwater sonar, which is used by submarines and some aquatic animals to perform the previously mentioned tasks.
Acoustic location in air was used before the introduction of radar. Sonar may also be used in air for robot navigation, and SODAR (an upward looking in-air sonar) is used for atmospheric investigations. The term sonar is also used for the equipment used to generate and receive the sound. The acoustic frequencies used in sonar systems vary from very low (infrasonic) to extremely high (ultrasonic). The study of underwater sound is known as underwater acoustics or hydroacoustics.
