Do sound waves bounce off objects?
Yes
Do objects block sound?
no, they absorb it or the sound waves bounce off.
How can sound help navigate?
Some animals like bats and dolphins use sound to navigate. They do this by sending out sound waves. These bounce off of objects and come back to the animal. These returning sound waves are interpreted by the brain and create a kid of map for the animal.
Why sound echoes in an empty auditorium?
Sounds seems to echo in an empty room because the sound has only six surfaces to bounce off of. When the sound waves bounce, they bounce right back to the source. However, when there is furniture, pictures, and other objects placed in a room, those surfaces contain just about every different angle, and when sound hits them, they bounce every but back to the source, hence, little to no echo.
How do molecules help to transmit sound?
Molecules vibrate making it easy for sound to bounce off
Do sound waves bounce off objects?
Yes
Do objects block sound?
no, they absorb it or the sound waves bounce off.
How do bats hunt with ulrasound?
they do a high pitched squeek and listens to the sound waves that bounce back off objects.. :) x
How does sonar detect underwater objects?
Sonar is when you send sound waves out. They bounce off of objects, letting people know there is an object there. Dolphins and bats, among other animals, use sonar.

How Do Bats Hear Sound?
The same way we do - by using their ears ! Bats use ultra-sonic sound which is higher than the range humans can hear - their 'squeaks' bounce off objects, and prey and are reflected back to the bat so it can navigate in total darkness.

How do bats use sound to survive?
bats use echolocation to 'see'. echolocation is when sound waves bounce off an object and back to the bat. the bat then can feel the size, the shape, and even the movement of other predators, prey, each other, and objects
How do bats fly without knocking in the objects?
The use sound to detect what is around them. The echolocation sound bounces off objects and then back to the bat.
Is it true a radar is an instrument that uses radio waves to detect objects?
Like bats do in caves it is a signal sent out and timed so the distance can be measured from the reflected sound waves or in this case radio waves that bounce off any objects or obstacles.

Can echolocation work in a sound proof room?
Yes. Echolocation works by bouncing waves off of objects. A sound proof room would not allow sound to escape but there are still walls in the room to allow a bat's echolocation to bounce off of and back to the bat.
