Occurs when sound waves apparently bend around an obstacle.?
The phenomenon is known as diffraction.
Diffraction occurs when waves around the edge of a barrier?
Diffraction is phenomena that occurs when a wave encounters an obstacle. This happens when a wave reaches an obstacle that is comparable in size to it.
How is reflection manifested in sounds?
Reflection, Refraction, and DiffractionLike any wave, a sound wave doesn't just stop when it reaches the end of the medium or when it encounters an obstacle in its path. Rather, a sound wave will undergo certain behaviors when it encounters the end of the medium or an obstacle. Possible behaviors include reflection off the obstacle, diffraction around the obstacle, and transmission (accompanied by refraction) into the obstacle or new medium. In this part of Lesson 3, we will investigate behaviors that have already been discussed in a previous unitand apply them towards the reflection, diffraction, and refraction of sound waves.
What reflects sound waves?
Large obstacles reflects sound waves. If you shout in front of a valley the sound wave travels in all directions and is reflected by an obstacle such as a wall or a cliff.
What does sound originates from?
Sound originates right from the one where vibration of material occurs.

What are four different things that can happen to the waves when they meet an obstacle?
In general waves can: Wrap around the obstacle. This happens when the wavelength is larger than obstacle size. Bounce back as an echo off the obstacle. This happens when the wavelength is shorter than the obstacle size. Be absorbed by the obstacle. This occurs when the natural frequency of the obstacle matches the frequency of the wave...so-called resonance. Pass through the obstacle. There are several ways this can happen. But visible light passing through a glass window is one example.

In order to hear a sound even though there is an obstacle between you and the source the sound wave must?
diffract
How do you spell Accores?
well sound i out "occurs" but you spell it occurs

What occurs when things vibrate?
Sound
What occurs when a sound moves away from you?
the sound´s frequency decreases

Sound originates right from the one where vibration of material occurs.
Can sounds travel in space?
No. Sound requires a physical medium. Sound occurs when atoms strike against other atoms, thus propagating the energy.No. Sound requires a physical medium.

What occurs in the eardrum?
Vibration from sound waves
