Sounds travel at different speeds through materials of different density. This sound speed differential is translated to different light intensities on a monitor screen displaying an image. This requires a computer and many, many algorithms and lines of code.

ADDED: The first statement is quite correct but the primary measurement is of the time between pulse transmission and echo return. The mathematics of the signal-processing that produces the image is indeed formidable!
