An ultrasonic rangefinder sends out a short beep of sound, and measures

the time it takes for an echo to come back. Knowing the speed of sound,

it calculates the distance to the object the sound echoed off of.

It uses sound at a frequency that your ears can't hear, so the beep is called "ultrasonic".
