Solution

The properties of ultrasound that makes it suitable for echosounding are:
  • The ultrasonic waves are reflected and refracted just like light waves.
  • The speed of ultrasonic waves/acoustic waves is more in more dense media (speed in water > speed in air)
  • Their velocity remains constant in homogeneous media.
  • They have a very high frequency, which accounts for high energy and hence a sufficient amount of energy reaches the receiver even after the resistance offered by water
