How does an echo occur?
Sound can bounce off hard surfaces, like light can off bright surfaces. A sound starts and the sound bounces, the sound then bounces off another wall and another and so on. When it bounces it splits into all the directions its side of the wall (if you imagine a protractor against the wall the sound will travel in all angles on that side of the wall. Every time it bounces the sound gets quieter as the energy is lost. The more hard surfaces in a room the less energy is absorbed by the surface. Therefore the reason this does not work in your house it because you may have carpets, pillows on chairs and sofa's.
What kind of ball bounces most when dropped at hard surface?
One made of dense but highly-elastic material.
What bouncy ball bounces the highest?
the type of bouncy ball that bounces the highest our golf balls but that is only on hard surface other wise it would be your standard bouncy ball out of the machines that are 50 cents(:
Is sound reflected when it hits a hard surface?
no. it's absorbed
Does the surface a ball bounce on affect the bounce of a ball?
Yes. Let's say it bounces on cement. It bounces high and hits the surface perfectly. However, if you were to bounce it on something like carpet, it would either bounce less high, or not bounce at all. This would be due to the fact that the carpet has padding so the ball would not be able to push off of a hard surface because carpet isn't usually hard.
When a sound wave strikes a smooth hard surface the wave is?
When a sound wave strikes a smooth hard surface the wave bounces off. This means that the wave is deflected.

What happens when metal strikes a hard surface?
i thing it produces sound?

What type of balls bounces the highest?
No ball bounces higher than others. There are different ball for different surfaces and it depends on what surface you are on (clay, hard, or grass). The ball will bounce higher on hard then it does on clay or grass. -tennis player

How does the surface effect the players game?
On hard court the ball bounces to the pace of your opponent. But on grass courts the ball bounces slower. On a clay court you tend to slide more therefore making it a little harder to recover.
What is it that makes reverb so pleasant to the ear?
When a sound strikes a hard surface, it bounces back to the listener at different timings and amplitudes, creating a complex echo that transmits information about the physical environment. Natural reverberations are simulated or exaggerated with reverb pedals or effects.

Can you describe a bouncy ball?
It's a rubbery ball that bounces up when thrown, with force, down on a hard, supportable surface. Much like a basketball.
Why does a tennis ball bounce higher on harder surfaces?
Because the hard surface doesn't absorb any of the energy of the tennis ball - thus the ball bounces higher than if it was dropped on a softer surface.
