At varies based on the stud finder but a lot of low/mid quality units use electricity. The drywall has a level of resistance/capacitance to electricity that the stud finder measures. It is basically how hard it is to push electricity through the wall. When the finder flies over a stud, the capacitance/ resistance changes and the stud finder senses that.
More advanced units use radar based technology.
