I'll tell you with an example. Say you create a sound by clapping your hands. The sound radiates in all directions, like an expanding sphere. The front edge of the wave is called the wavefront and it is spherical in shape.

Why distance between two wavefront is lambda?

Wavefront is the locus (a line, or, in a wave propagating in 3 dimensions, a surface) of points having the same phase. Thus wavefront should be obtained after each period(duration of one cycle) of a signal. And wavefront is tangent to the signal at each of those pints. this concludes that: distance between two wavefront is lambda(wavelength of a signal).

Why can't a sonic ranger detect objects far away?

The wavefront of the sound is spherical, so as distance increases, the intensity of the sound decreases proportionally to the square of the distance. There will be a point when the echo will not be strong enough to be detected above background sounds.
