How Sonar Works Sonar uses sound waves to determine the presence and location of underwater objects. The time measured between the transmission of the sound wave and the reception of any reflection can be used to determine distance from an object. Analysis of the reflected signal can also be used to determine location, size, or composition of under[...]
