Reflection, Refraction, and Diffraction
  • Like any wave, a sound wave doesn't just stop when it reaches the end of the medium or when it encounters an obstacle in its path. Rather, a sound wave will undergo certain behaviors when it encounters the end of the medium or an obstacle. Possible behaviors include reflection off the obstacle, diffraction around the obstacle, and transmission (accompanied by refraction) into the obstacle or new medium. In this part of Lesson 3, we will investigate behaviors that have already been discussed in a previous unitand apply them towards the reflection, diffraction, and refraction of sound waves.

How are refliction and refraction manifested in sounds?

Reflection in sound occurs when sound waves bounce off a surface, creating echoes or reverberation. Refraction in sound happens when sound waves change direction as they pass through different mediums with varying densities, such as air and water, causing changes in the sound's speed and direction. Both reflection and refraction play a role in how we perceive and understand sound in different environments.
