What Sound energy is absorbed reflected or transmitted?
Trick question. Short answer....Audio waves.
How can sound waves be transmitted reflected and absorbed?
Yes, yes, and no. They can't be polarized, because their vibration is in the direction of their motion, not across it. But they also exhibit diffraction and dispersion ... almost everything you would expect from waves.
What happens on sound waves when it hits a barrier?
When waves pass through a narrow gap, be they light or sound, they diffract. This creates an interference pattern of some sort, often depending on the wavelength of the sound and the size of the gap.
Can sound be absorbed?
When sound hits a surface, it is either transmitted through the material or reflected back out, similar as light is. When sound is transmitted through matter, it is diffused (or spread out) by said matter; and also a small portion of the sound is converted to energy (such as heat). This is based on my personal understanding, it may not be 100% accurate but I you out.
Is sound reflected when it hits a hard surface?
no. it's absorbed

How is sound absorbed and reflected?
Generated by the sound source will be present in the soundwaves propagated from the surrounding air.
Is water transmitted or absorbed by sound?
Sound does not tansmit or absorb water. But water both transmits and absorbs sound.
How is sound energy absorbed and reflected?
Generated by the sound source will be present in the soundwaves propagated from the surrounding air.
What happens when sound hits soft materials?
generally speaking, the sound is absorbed.
How sound is affected when it travels through wooden tables?
When a sound tries to go through something hard, like a table, part of it will be reflected back and the other part will be absorbed and carried through to the other side. The amount absorbed and the amount reflected depends on the volume and frequency of the sound.
Sound energy that passes through a solid is said to be reflected?
Sound energy that pass through a solid is said to be reflected because as sound waves pass from air to a solid, some of the energy is reflected back into the air. Some of the energy will be absorbed by the new medium.
What happens when sound strikes an object?
Some of it is absorbed. Most of it is reflected according to the normal rules of reflection.
