Question

State whether given statement is True or False
Sonar make use of ultrasound.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Answer is A.
Ultrasound is sound with a frequency higher than 20 kHz. This is above the human range of hearing. The most common use of ultrasound, creating images, has industrial and medical applications.
Sonar illustrates how a ship on the ocean utilizes the reflecting properties of ultrasound waves to determine the depth of the ocean. A ultrasound wave is transmitted and bounces off the seabed. Because the speed of sound is known and the time lapse between sending and receiving the sound can be measured, the distance from the ship to the bottom of the ocean can be determined. This technique is called sonar (originally an acronym for SOund Navigation And Ranging).
