What word describes the behavior of waves when they strike a surface?
The behavior of waves when they strike a surface is called reflection. This occurs when waves bounce off a surface at an angle equal to the angle at which they hit the surface.
What can you hear but not see and only speaks when it?
An echo. It is a reflection of sound waves that bounce off a surface and return to the listener's ears.
When energy reflects off matter how is the energy affected?
Energy comes in different forms; it would help to know what type of energy you are talking about. Energy that can move around includes mechanical waves (for example, waves in water), sound waves, light and other electromagnetic radiation.
Why is it not possible to use sonar to determine the speed of an object travelling faster than the speed of sound?
Sonar uses sound waves to measure distances by calculating the time it takes for the sound waves to bounce back. However, when an object is traveling faster than the speed of sound, the sound waves emitted by the sonar system cannot catch up with the object to bounce back, making it impossible to accurately determine the speed of the object using sonar.
Sonar machines rely on which property of sound waves?
Sonar machines rely on the property of sound waves that allows them to bounce off objects and return to the source, a phenomenon known as echo. By calculating the time it takes for the sound wave to bounce back, sonar machines can determine the distance and location of objects underwater.
Do waves go through each other or bounce off one another?
Waves can exhibit both behaviors depending on the type of waves and the medium through which they are propagating. In some cases, waves can pass through each other without interacting (such as light waves), while in other cases, waves can bounce off each other or interact (such as sound waves).
Do sound waves bounce off objects?
Yes, sound waves can bounce off objects. This phenomenon is known as reflection. When sound waves encounter an object, they can be reflected off its surface and change direction. This is similar to how light waves bounce off mirrors.
What does radiation bounce off of?
Radiation can bounce off surfaces such as metal, mirrors, and other reflective materials. The ability of a material to reflect radiation depends on its composition and surface finish. Smooth and polished surfaces tend to reflect radiation more effectively than rough or absorbent surfaces.
What is it called when light waves bounce off matter?
When light waves bounce off matter, it is called reflection. This happens when light waves hit a smooth and shiny surface, causing them to bounce off at the same angle they hit the surface.
radio waves heading upward from earth often bounce off the ____.?
ionosphere
What is it called when waves bounce off of a barrier?
reflection
Can radio waves bounce off stars?
Yes they can
Part of atmosphere used to bounce shortwave radio waves?
Radio waves bounce off of the ionosphere and return back to Earth.
When waves bounce back off of another surface it is called?
Reflection or refraction if the wave scatters.
Do waves bounce off each other or go through each other?
Waves can interact in different ways depending on their type and properties. Some waves, like electromagnetic waves, can pass through each other without interacting. Other types of waves, like water waves, can reflect off each other when they collide.
How does an echo work?
An echo happens when sound waves bounce off an object. That's why if you scream into a hollow cave, there is an echo. Because the sound waves bounce off the walls and back at you
Radio waves headed upward from earth often bounce off the?
thermosphere-apex
