What happens to echolocation when it hits an object?
Echolocation is actually a process- it can't hit anything. In echolocation, high frequency sound waves are sent out by an animal. When these sound waves hit an object, they bounce off of it and reflect back to the animal. The animal can gather information about the object from these sound waves such as its size, shape, and distance.
When sound waves hit a barrier nothing happens?
the sound waves reflect back
What happens to seismic waves when they hit the MOHO?
They speed up
What happens to sound or light waves when they hit a smooth surface?
They are reflected :)
What happens to sound waves in air?
when a sound wave is sent through the air, it is passed through to someone's ear. when this process is complete and the sound wave has hit the receiver, it causes a vibration on the object

Does red light travel longer that the gamma ray?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. How far they travel depends on when or whether they hit an object that they cannot pass through.

What happens to seismic waves when they hit the MOHO?
They speed up
What happens when an earthquake occurs far from an observing station?
P-waves hit, followed by S-waves, followed by surface waves.
How do different obstacles affect radio waves?
Radio waves hit all obstacles the same, but the waves will differ in the distance of the wave and/or the object from the transmitter.
What happens to sound or light waves when they hit a smooth surface?
They are reflected :)
Is it possible to use a beam of electromagnetic waves as a killer of terrorists. A satellite fitted with source of electromagnetic waves may be given lat-long of that terrorist to hit?
no, beam weapons are highly impractical in the atmosphere. there is too much distortion, absorption, and scattering.

What happens when sound waves hit the water?
makes little ripples in the water
What happens to the light when it strikes a plane mirror?
Light is an electromagnetic wave and as with all waves when they hit a smooth reflective surface such as a mirror they reflect which means they bounce off at 90 degrees. Light = incident ray Light reflected = reflective ray
What happens if thunder hits earth?
Thunder is sound waves. They hit Earth all the time, and nothing in particular happens.
