It has to have a hard surface to bounce off of.

Not necessarily. The reflector is the surface of a medium of greater density than that through which the incident sound travels, and it can be the surface of water, or a density-boundary caused by sharp temperature or salinity differences in the sea.

When energy of a sound wave is transferred to a particle of a medium and causes it to vibrate and generate heat the sound wave is?
Reflected
What is the scientific explanation for echos?
An echo is a sound wave that has reflected off a boundary
What phenomena is taking place when sound waves are reflected from a service along parallel lines?
Refracting is the phenomena that takes place when sound waves are reflected from a surface along parallel lines. During this phenomena the phase velocity of the wave changes but the frequency of the wave stays the same.
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
What gives a sound wave its pitch and intensity?
A sound wave's pitch is determined by its frequency; that is its cycles per unit of time. The sound wave's intensity or volume is determined by its amplitude; the maximum crest of a sound wave.
What is the result of a reflected sound wave?
The result of a reflected sound wave is obviously an echo.
When a sound wave is reflected what do you hear?
When a sound wave is reflected, you hear an echo.
When a sound wave is reflected it produces?
Echoes
When a sound wave is reflected you hear a?
Echo
What is the common name for a reflected sound wave?
An echo.
What is it called When a wave bounces of an object?
This is called reflection of sound. It's like a sound wave bouncing on a trampoline.
When energy of a sound wave is transferred to a particle of a medium and causes it to vibrate and generate heat the sound wave is?
Reflected
When the energy of a sound wave is transferred to a particle of a medium and causes it to vibrate and generate heat the sound wave is?
Reflected
When a sound wave is reflected it produces what?
Sometimes it makes an echo or reverberation.
A sound that is repeated because the sound wave reflected or bounced back from a distant object?
echo
A sound wave travels from air into water a portion of the wave could be reflected true or false?
True.
What is the scientific explanation for echos?
An echo is a sound wave that has reflected off a boundary
