An echo sounder operates by measuring the time taken for a sound wave to travel from the device to an object on the seabed and back again. This time measurement is used to calculate the distance between the echo sounder and the object by utilizing the speed of sound in water.
A sonar system measures distance by sending out sound waves that bounce off an object and return to the sensor. The system calculates the distance based on the time it takes for the sound waves to return. By knowing the speed of sound in water or air, the system can accurately determine the distance to the object.
Their ears have evolved to do this both on lend/air and in water.

Echolocation is used by mammals such as the bat, which has poor eye sight. During evolution it developed the ability to locate a target by sending sound waves, as eyes are almost useless in dark. The bat produces sounds of different frequency at different intervals. The time taken for the echo to come back gives the bat the distance of the object from the bat. The intensity of the echo gives the size of the object, and the 'slight' time difference between the sound reaching each of the ears gives the direction of the object. Rotation of the head to and fro will give the the exact location when used along with all the above. In the same way, many blind people create a sound by stumping their stick or feet to locate an object. But when sound comes fromperpendicularto both ears, all animals get confused, whether it is coming from back side or front side. So Echo location is used to locate the size of object, it's distance from animal and exact location of the object.

Yes, echoes can occur underwater. When a sound wave hits an object, such as the seabed or a submerged object, the sound wave bounces off and returns to the source, creating an echo. The depth and composition of the water, as well as the frequency of the sound wave, can affect the strength and clarity of the echo.
An echo sounder works by sending out sound waves into the water and measuring the time it takes for the sound waves to bounce off an object or the sea floor and return to the device. By calculating the time taken for the sound waves to return, the device can determine the depth of the water or the distance to the objects in the water.
Bats use echo location, they track down sounds of prey by their sound waves.
The frequency of the ultrasonic waves of the echo from a stationary object is the same as the frequency of the ultrasonic waves emitted by the probe. The echo frequency remains constant as it reflects off the stationary object back to the probe.
