An echo is most likely to result when sound hits a surface that is?
sound wave reflect best off smooth, hard surfaces
Why does light reflect best on flat and shiny surfaces?
because the light bounces off the flat and shiny surfaces.
The best absorbers of heat are what kinds of surfaces?
Black surfaces with large area absorb heat best (a powder for example that is black).
Are hard or soft surfaces best at reflecting sound?
Hard surfaces are better at reflecting sound because they do not absorb the sound waves as much as soft surfaces do. Soft surfaces, like carpets or curtains, tend to absorb more sound, causing less reflection.
What surfaces does sound travel through?
It travels best through solids
What causes clouds to reflect a portion of sunlight back into space?
Many people think that clouds consist of water vapor, but they are actually water droplets. Smooth, light-colored surfaces reflect light best, and because of the abundance of surfaces in a cumulus cloud (raincloud), there are many chances for the light to reflect back or be absorbed and re-radiated.
Does a rough surface reflect light in many directions?
Highly polished, shiny surfaces reflect light the best as they are REFLECTive. White or bright surfaces also reflect light well. Dull, Matt surfaces are the worst reflecters of light
What are the best absorbers of thermal radiation?
Black, dull surfaces are the best absorbers of thermal radiation because the heat doesn't reflect off it unlike shiny surfaces.
What are the best surfaces for radiating heat?
Dark surfaces are the best.
What kind of surfaces reflect sound well?
We will find surfaces that are hard and flat to be the best reflectors of sound. To understand why, we need to review a couple of things about sound. Sound is mechanical energy. The source of the sound will put the sound (mechanical) energy into the medium through which that sound is going to travel. This causes some movement in the medium through which the sound is propagating. Surfaces that reflect sound best will not absorb the sound energy by moving. These surfaces will resist any movement and will thus not take any energy from the sound wave. This said, we'd expect a foam rubber wall will reflect far less sound energy than a concrete wall. Also, a wall that is flat will cause less scattering, which is a distributed redirection of the sound. A flat wall will allow sound to be reflected directly back toward the source (for sound arriving at a right angle to the wall). A wall that is made of cemented river stones, which are rounded, will scatter some of the sound energy and be less as good a reflector of that sound compared to a flat, smooth concrete wall.
Which surfaces are the best emitters of heat?
black dull surfaces but im looking for why these surfaces are the worst?
What material best reflect heat?
Mirrors reflect heat
