Answer

Ultrasonic waves are used for the following purposes:

They are used in $\text{SONAR}$ for finding the range and direction of submarines.
They are used for detecting the presence of cracks and other inhomogeneities in solids.
They are used to kill the bacteria and hence for sterilising milk.
They are used for cleaning the surface of solid.
