Why are sound heard better on wet day than on dry day?

when it is dry and hot the air acts as denser medium,when its a wet day the air around act as rarer medium.........sound travels faster in rarer medium than denser medium


What effect does snow have on sound?

Snow does not make any sound. When you are outside on a snowy day, or when there is a lot of snow on the ground, what sounds are in the air seem to be dampened somewhat because the snow, being soft, tends to absorb the sound waves. But the actual snowflakes, being tiny and wet, do not impact anything or each other with enough force to set up sound-vibrations, thus creating any sound waves. And, without sound waves, there can be no sound. Have you ever heard the famous saying, if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it, is sound created? Well, of course sound is created. It makes no difference if a sound is actually heard by someone for it to exist.

What kind of surfaces reflect sound well?

We will find surfaces that are hard and flat to be the best reflectors of sound. To understand why, we need to review a couple of things about sound. Sound is mechanical energy. The source of the sound will put the sound (mechanical) energy into the medium through which that sound is going to travel. This causes some movement in the medium through which the sound is propagating. Surfaces that reflect sound best will not absorb the sound energy by moving. These surfaces will resist any movement and will thus not take any energy from the sound wave. This said, we'd expect a foam rubber wall will reflect far less sound energy than a concrete wall. Also, a wall that is flat will cause less scattering, which is a distributed redirection of the sound. A flat wall will allow sound to be reflected directly back toward the source (for sound arriving at a right angle to the wall). A wall that is made of cemented river stones, which are rounded, will scatter some of the sound energy and be less as good a reflector of that sound compared to a flat, smooth concrete wall.

Which philosopher wrote if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?

yes if a tree does fall in a forest it does make a sound because it is not a vacuum (where few or no particles are ; space) the air around it has matter and a medium so the compressions and rarefactions travel through a medium and create sound waves and the tree vibrates so the answer is yes if a tree falls in a forest it does make a sound.
