How to calculate the depth of ocean?


When we want to know the depth of ocean, we need to use sound equipment.
the name of this equipment is Sonar.
The principle is simple. Sonar makes the sound to ocean. Then sound travels the ocean until the bottom. After touching the bottom, the sound come back to mechine. Now we have to calcuate. Calculating the velocity of sound times the seconds to come back, we can get the distance from the ship to the bottom
In this way, we can find the group of fishes when we are fishing with ship.
Are you aware of all the applications of sound? Here is a video of some of the coolest ones:
