Materials that are good reflectors of sound include:
- Polished wood
- Bricks
- Glass
- Smooth surfaces
Hard objects are the good reflectors of sound because particles bounce straight off them. If they are smooth, the sound reflects at the same angle it hit the surface and is not spread out.

Why can electromagnetic waves travel through space and not sound waves?
Sound waves need a physical material to carry them, but electromagnetic waves don't.
What is the material which sound waves travel through?
the 'medium'
Do sound waves need a material to travel in?
sound wave need material becuse sound wave formed by compresion and rarefaction
Why do sound wave require a medium to travel?
Sound waves are mechanical waves and all mechanical waves require a material medium for its propagation unlike electromagnectic waves
How does sound travel in solid materials?
Sound travels by causing molecules in the material to vibrate parallel to the direction of motion. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.
What are waves that are passes through a material?
sound waves
Waves that are passed through a material are called what?
sound waves
How do curtains and carpets help in acoustical control?
A simple answer from a simple man. Sound waves travel until they hit something solid and then bounce back. Carpet and curtains are not even solid surfaces where sound waves can bounce back from. If they (the sound waves), have nothing to bounce from they stop traveling. The material of the carpet and curtain actually redirects the sound waves throughout the material instead of coming back to you.
How does sound travel from instruments to your ears?
Sound creates waves in a material- compression waves. These waves are transmitted through the atoms/molecules in the material to the receiver. The denser a material is, the more effectively sound may travel; this is because the sound waves are transmitted more easily through the tightly packed molecules.
Why sound need medium while it propagation?
Because sound waves are mechanical vibrations of material matter. You can't have sound waves in a space where there's no material to vibrate.
Why can electromagnetic waves travel through space and not sound waves?
Sound waves need a physical material to carry them, but electromagnetic waves don't.
Ein which of the follwing can sound waves not travil?
Sound waves can travel through any compressible material (which means any real material), be it solid, liquid, or gas. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum.
What is the material which sound waves travel through?
the 'medium'
Do sound waves need a material to travel in?
sound wave need material becuse sound wave formed by compresion and rarefaction
Why do sound wave require a medium to travel?
Sound waves are mechanical waves and all mechanical waves require a material medium for its propagation unlike electromagnectic waves
Does plastic stop sound waves?
Yes.
Can sound waves be reflected from liquids or gases?
Yes, sound waves can be reflected fro liquids or gases that present a interface with another material or the same material of a different density.
