Logarithms are used in the royal navy in sonars
They are but it's far wider than that.
The application you mean is the "decibel", the 10X or 20X logarithm of the ratio of two signal intensities or powers - not just in military and commercial sonar, but in acoustics generally, and in electrical engineering such as amplifier design.
The Richter scale and the magnitude scale of star brightness are logarithmic. Common and hyperbolic logarithms crop up in many places - the latter control the expansion or compression of gas in an engine or compressor cylinder, for example.
Exponents also facilitate handling very large & very small numbers by turning them into multiples of plus or minus powers of 10.

What are application of the logarithms to the real life situation?
The Richter Scale of energy release in an Earthquake.
What are the rules governing of real numbers?
There are many. There are those that deal with the four basic binary operations, then there are rules governing exponents and logarithms.
What is operation on real numbers?
The basic operations are addition (+), subtraction (-), multilpication (*) and division (/). But there are many others, for example, powers and roots, trigonometric functions, exponents and logarithms.

What are real life uses of exponents?
Scientific notation is a way to write very large or very small numbers using exponents. For example 2000 is 2x103 . We can do the same thing with negative exponents and write very small numbers like 1/2000 which is 2x10-3 . So one real life use of exponents in in scientific notation.
