Normally, we detect sound by listening with our ears. As sound is waves, there are instruments that can detect and show the waves on a screen.
The answer to that question depends heavily on who "he" was.
Electromagnetic waves or radiation. "Light," however, generally refers to that portion of the EM spectrum that our eyes can detect.
By using Wheat's stone bridge we can detect by thermal method. placing platinum wire in which ultrasonic waves have to be tested, due to change in temperature produced in the wire resistance of the wire changes, it is noted by using galvanometer in the bridge.

to detect ultrasonic waves ,place a sensitive flame in its path. if it flickers it proves its existence.
It is called visible light.
IT DETECT IT BY ULTRA VIOLET RAYS.
That's called visible light.
A radio altimeter bounces radio waves off the ground to detect elevation.
Detect sound waves.

Telescopes can not detect any radiation for which they were not specifically built. For example, a radio telescope is specifically designed to detect radio waves. Also, telescopes can not detect radiation that is too faint for them. What is too faint depends on the capabilities of the telescope.
They detect waves coming off of the closest stars
