Underwater acoustics is the study of sound in the underwater environment, including its generation, propagation, and reception. This field encompasses a variety of applications and phenomena, from the natural sounds made by marine life to the technological uses of sonar for navigation, communication, and detection in military and marine research contexts. Key aspects of underwater acoustics include: 1. **Sound Propagation**: Sound travels differently in water compared to air due to the differences in density and elasticity.
