Absorbed sound waves occur when sound energy is taken in by materials rather than reflected. Examples include sound absorption by soft furnishings like carpets and curtains, which help reduce echo in a room. Acoustic panels and soundproofing materials also effectively absorb sound waves, minimizing noise transmission. Additionally, natural environments, like forests, can absorb sound due to the foliage and uneven terrain.

What happens to soundwaves when a echo does not occur?
Consider the difference in sound between a large empty room that only has hard walls to reflect sound compared to a room with different kind of furniture and curtains or drapes. An echo occurs when sound (sound waves) reach a solid object that reflects the sound away and back to where it originated. If there is no echo than any or all of the following occurred:The sound waves were reflected in a different direction.The sound waves were absorbed when they reached a soft material that does not reflect sound well. The sound energy is converted to smaller vibration in the material which dissipate.The sound waves were attenuated (lessened) as they traveled through the air until it was inaudible (couldn't be heard). Some of the waves are absorbed by the ground, grass, trees or bounced away by obstructions and the rest are absorbed by air particles which gain a little energy from it.Interestingly, the amount of air particles over water is less than over land and most people are aware that sound travels further over water.
How could soundwaves be focused by using reflection?
Not all sound that hits matter is absorbed. Some of it is reflected. That means sound bounces off the solid matter the way a tennis ball bounces off a wall. Sound reflected back to its source is an echo.
What device converts sound waves to electric current?
Microphones will convert sound waves into electrical signals. An ear (i..e human ear) will also convert sound waves into electrical signals.
Do sound waves travel forever?
Sounds waves as they spread out get weaker and weaker until they just about disappear. Theoretically there will always be some small amount of sound still propagating forever but it will be so weak that it would be unmeasurable. Even if we had the ultimately sensitive listening device and could still detect (hear) sounds from long ago there would be so many other old sounds mixed together that all we would hear would be just noise, probably sounding like a hiss or a humming sound.

What are some examples of longitudinal?
Sound, and P-waves of an earthquake.
What are the diffirent types of wave?
Some examples include waves on a water surface; sound waves; electromagnetic waves (this includes light); and gravitational waves.
What are some mechanical wave examples?
Mechanical waves are waves that need a medium to go through. Some examples are ocean waves, seismic waves, and sound waves. Also when a slinky moves back and forth or at right angles it is like a wave.
What are some examples of longitudinal waves other than sound?
Examples of longitudinal waves other than sound include seismic waves (such as P-waves and S-waves), ultrasonic waves used in medical imaging, and waves in slinkies or springs. These waves propagate through a medium by causing particles to vibrate parallel to the direction of wave travel.
When sound waves hit a barrier nothing happens?
When sound waves hit a barrier, they can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. The barrier will block some of the sound energy, causing it to decrease in intensity as it interacts with the barrier. Sound waves can also diffract around the edges of the barrier, affecting how the sound is heard on the other side.
What are some examples of periodic waves?
Examples of periodic waves include ocean waves, sound waves, and the electromagnetic waves that make up visible light. These waves exhibit a pattern of repeating peaks and troughs over time or space.
Examples of mechanical and electromagnetic waves?
Some examples of mechanical waves are Sound, waves in a slinky, and water. Mechanical waves need matter to move. Some examples of electromagnetic waves are Radio, Gamma, X-rays, Infra-red, and Microwaves Electromagnetic waves are able to travel through a medium of liquids, solids, and geaseous states, or through space where there is no material at all, called "vacuum".
