Yes.
Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation, such as the motion of waves on water. Longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of propagation, such as sound waves traveling through air.
No, mirrors do not reflect sound. Mirrors reflect light waves, but sound waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. Sound waves do not bounce off mirrors as they are not capable of reflecting sound.
No. A black hole does not reflect light waves. But that is assuming you regard a black hole as an "object."
An echo is created when sound waves reflect off a surface and return to the listener. In this process, the sound waves do not refract, but rather bounce off the surface at an angle equal to the incident angle.
Sound waves can reflect off of hard surfaces such as walls, floors, and ceilings. When sound waves hit these surfaces, they bounce back towards the source creating echoes or reverberation. Reflection of sound waves plays a significant role in how we perceive and understand auditory information in our environment.

No, mirrors cannot reflect sound as they are designed to reflect light. Sound waves interact differently with surfaces compared to light waves, so while mirrors work for reflecting light, they do not work for reflecting sound.
The properties of waves are the same for all sorts of waves. If sound waves reflect it is called an echo. When light waves reflect it is simply called a reflection. Waves on the ocean can also reflect if they run into a cliff instead of a sandy beach. Reflected waves often cause what are called standing waves where waves travelling in opposite directions reinforce each other and cancel each other out. One point of the wave will hardly move and another point will move up and down double the distance it would if there is only one wave. This is very dangerous for boats. Light also can be made to create standing waves. In radio, antennas must be adjusted to get a Standing Wave Ratio of 1:1 so it works for electrical waves in a wire as well. In live concerts, standing waves can mean real trouble for the sound engineers trying to balance the reflected waves from the back of the hall or auditorium. It is often better to have such concerts outside to avoid such problems.
This idea refers to how different types of waves interact with surfaces. Waves may reflect or pass through surfaces based on their properties. For example, a smooth surface may reflect light waves effectively like a mirror, while a rough surface may scatter sound waves, making them less distinct.
The water will reflect some of the sound, and some will travel downward through the water.
Yes, radio wave can reflect off of surfaces. Dish antennas use this property to focus the radio waves to a single point and produce very high directivity.
Yes, lead can block radio waves because it is a dense material that can absorb and reflect electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves.
