SONAR uses which type of waves?

Answer: Ultrasound.

  • A Infrasound
  • B Audible sound
  • C Ultrasound
  • D Electromagnetic waves

Correct answer: C. Ultrasound

Explanation: SONAR (Sound Navigation And Ranging) uses ultrasonic waves to detect objects underwater.

Standing Wave: Nodes and Antinodes (Open Pipe, 2nd Harmonic)nodenodenodeantinodeantinodeSolid and dashed lines show the string/air column at two instants - nodes never move

A standing wave forms from two identical waves travelling in opposite directions and interfering; nodes (always zero displacement) and antinodes (maximum displacement) stay fixed in place, unlike a travelling wave where the whole pattern moves.

Concept context

Wave types, superposition, standing waves, Doppler effect, and sound intensity.
