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 Sound energy is absorbed reflected or transmitted?
Trick question. Short answer....Audio 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.
What happens when EM waves encounter a material medium?
The energy in the wave is partly transmitted, partly absorbed, and partly reflected.
Areall sound waves reflected explain?
When the sound waves are reflected, the result in the producing of an echo.
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 Produced by reflected sound waves over 17m away?

Which use of sound waves depends on the fact that sound waves are reflected?
ultrasound
What is the science behind a reflection?
Like in a mirror? A reflection in terms of light is the interaction of electromagnetic waves (light) with electrons at the surface of the reflecting material. Reflections also occur with other types of waves, such as sound or waves on water. Whenever wave energy makes contact with a material surface, it is either reflected, absorbed or transmitted through the material.
What is the reflected sound waves?
echo!
How are sound transmitted?
there waves that tell sound
