A bounced sound wave is called?

A bounced sound wave is acalled an echo. You can hear these echos when you yell into a cave or a crevasse or an abyss.


Where can you find a echo?

clap and listen for the echo an echo is just a reverberation of sound bouncing off something solid about 17 meters away and returning will produce an echo. You can't litterally find an echo just clap and listen for one.


How echos are used by geologist looking for oil?

First of all scientists look for clues, the oil is usually found under a dome shaped layer called a cap or anti-cline. Then small explosions are sent underground the sensors which are on the above surface pick up the echoes from the oil.


Why do voices echo?

Voices echo because the sound waves create by the human voice bounce off an object and reflect back to the original source. Echos will usually take place in wide open spaces because the objects are far apart, thereby the sound takes longer to bounce off an object. When in closed spaces that absorb sound like a voice over booth, you will not hear any echo as objects are closer and the sound is being absorbed by soundproofing.


What is a light echo?

In the broadest sense, an "echo" is a reflection. If it happens, then something that was sent offin that direction comes back in thisdirection.When an echo of sound occurs, you shout at the side of a mountain, the sound reflects off of it,and you hear your own voice coming back to you from the mountainside.When an echo of an electrical signal takes place in an unbalanced 2W/4W hybrid in a microwave siteor telco central office somewhere, often in a foreign country, you hear your voice coming back to you,delayed, over the telephone, which can be very confusing and the conversation usually doesn't continue.Light can also reflect from things, whether the things happen to be smooth or rough.When the light from a flashlight echos (reflects) from the floor in a dark room, the result is thatyou're able to 'see' the floor.When the light reflected from your face echos again from a smooth surface and heads back in thedirection of your face, you can 'see' the image of yourself reflected from the mirror, the puddle,or the smooth side of the toaster.
