Sound Energy: Its Uses
 1. Sound is used in
communication
To relay
meanings
through words
requires the use
of sound.
2. Sound is used in geology.
Sound is used in geology in
locating oil and mineral
reservoirs underground.
Seismologists track
earthquakes and find out how
earthquakes travel through
magma and rocks.
3. Navigation uses sound.
Ultrasonic waves are sound
waves that have high frequencies
with short wavelengths. SoNaR,
an acronym for Sound Navigation
Ranging, is used to locate
sunken ships and schools of fish
and map the ocean floor. It is
also used by submarines in
military activities.
 4. Sound energy is used in
medicine.
The sound's reflected waves
are administered into a
computer, which enables the
information of pictures called a
sonogram or medical scanning.
Scanning is used for locating
gallstones, tumors, and kidney
stones.
