Ultrasonic sound is of a frequency that is above our hearing (>20kHz).

The question asks for applications.

They are numerous but include cleaning (by cavitation in a liquid in which the work-piece is suspended), certain types of welding / soldering, crack detection in welds, encouraging certain chemical or physical reactions...

Medically, ultrasound is used for diagnostic imaging such as of the foetus, and the destruction of "stones".

What is the difference between radar level measurement and ultrasonic level measurement?

Radar is based on Microwave and detects the change in dielectric constant where as Ultrasonic is based on Sound Wave at high frequency (Ultrasonic Wave) and detects change in density of medium. Based on performance and accuracy Radar is a better solution than Ultrasonic. However for lower range liquid application ultrasonic is a cost effective solution. hope this is useful for you!
