The sound would be reflected and seem to come from behind the reflective surface. This is commonly experienced near airports, where the sound of aircraft appears to come from the opposite direction, instead of from the airport.

If a person is in front of a smooth surface from which a sound is reflected the person would hear a sound that?

The person would hear an echo or reflected sound. The time delay between the original sound and the reflected sound reaching the person's ears would be noticeable, along with some changes in the sound quality due to reflections off the smooth surface.


How is light reflected on rough surface?

Light is reflected on a rough surface in many directions due to the uneven surface structure. Each small section of the rough surface reflects light independently, leading to diffuse reflection instead of the regular reflection seen on smooth surfaces. This is why rough surfaces appear matte or less glossy compared to smooth surfaces.


What happens when light rays hit a smooth surface?

When light rays hit a smooth surface, most of the light is reflected off the surface at an angle equal to the angle of incidence. This is known as specular reflection. The smooth surface acts like a mirror, creating a clear and sharp reflection.


When all the light rays are reflected at the same angle because of a smooth surface you see?

You see a clear reflection of the object's image on the smooth surface.

Why is water reflective?

The surface tension of the water creates a smooth surface. Light, as well as images captured by the eyes, are reflected on that smooth surface.


Why are image reflected from a rough surface not as clear as those reflected from a smooth surface?

Some light that falls on any surface is scattered back (reflected). A rough surface tends to scatter the light in different directions while a smooth surface tends to scatter more of the original (incident) rays straight back. This explains why a smooth surface reflects a "clearer" image than that reflected from a rough surface.


What is reflected light from the water or light?

Water is a completely smooth surface and light is reflected from the sun.


Why don't you see your reflected image when you at a white rough surface?

If the surface is rought, light may be reflected in just about any direction. There is not the "organized" or "coordinated" reflection which you see in smooth surfaces.If the surface is rought, light may be reflected in just about any direction.

Specular reflection
