What is the system that uses the reflection of underwater sound waves to detect objects?
What is sonar.
Determined by the frequency of the wave
What is pitch?
To take in or not reflect.

What is diverge.
Measured in decibels by means of an oscilloscope.
What is volume.
Created when objects vibrate and travels through the compression and refraction of atoms
What are sound waves?
The shift in frequency of acoustic or electromagnetic radiation emitted by a source moving relative to an observer as perceived by the observer: the shift is to higher frequencies when the source approaches and to lower frequencies when it recedes.
