These sounds are called echoes. Echoes have give us a number of valuable tools.Echo-sounding devices were early used in making maps of the ocean floor. Sound or ultrasonic sound make good tools for determining how deep the water is under ships. Sometimes echoes from ultrasonic distance-finding devices were prevented from working by fish swimming past or by the presence of large objects. So ultrasonic devices have been replace by other tools.Radar is now a familiar tool. Like many others it was an unexpected discovery. It was first observed by two researchers, who were studying sound communication (通讯). They were sending signals from a station on one side of a river in Washington, D.C. to a vehicle cross the river. They discovered that their signals were stopped by passing ships. They recognized the importance of this discovery at once.All this was of course just a start, from which our present radar has developed. The word Radar, in fact, comes from the term radio detection (检测) and ranging. Ranging means detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Today, in our scientific age, it would be difficult to manage without radar.One of the many uses f radar is as a sped control device on highways. When a person in an automobile is driving faster than the speed limit, radar will show this clearly and the traffic police can take measures to stop him.A pilot cannot fly a plane by sight alone. Many conditions such as flying at night and landing in dense fog require the pilot to use radar. Human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, but radar can show the pilot how fast nearby planes are moving.1.????What may interfere with the work of an ultrasonic device used to determine the depth of the water under ships according to t
