    SONAR uses resonance to detect objects underwater. A driver pendulum provides an initial force that resonates with cones of the same natural frequency, causing them to oscillate in opposite directions and absorb energy from the driver. This resonance allows SONAR to detect objects by the oscillation patterns of cones with matching frequencies to the driver.

    -driver will start the force on the pendulum
    v=W4YaemEauGo
    -the force will later pass down to the ones with the same natural
    frequency
    -if the string of the cone has the same length as the string on the driver, Tacoma Narrow Bridge Explained
    they will have same natural frequency https://www.youtube.com/watch?
    -the cone with the same natural frequency will absorb most of the v=mXTSnZgrfxM
    energy from the driver
    -therefore it will oscillate the opposite direction from the driver
    -it will continue oscillating due to momentum from the previous
    oscillation and the energy from the driver
