A sound that is repeated because the sound wave reflected or bounced back from a distant object?

An echo is a sound wave that is reflected or bounced back from a distant object, causing a repeated sound effect. This phenomenon occurs when the original sound wave reaches the object, bounces off it, and returns to the listener's ears after a delay. The distance of the object and the surrounding environment can affect the intensity and timing of the echo.


Why does sound happen?

Sound only happens when there is a collision with another object or a vibration from another object, because that is what a sound is. It can only be soft, loud, strong, weak, light, pitched etc. because it was moved by other existing objects. So sound happens when objects collide or become vibrated.


What is a bounced sound wave called?

A bounced sound wave is called an echo. It occurs when sound waves reflect off surfaces and return to the listener's ears after a brief delay.


What happens when a charged object discharges?

When a charged object discharges, it loses its excess electrons, neutralizing its overall charge. This discharge can result in the release of electrical energy in the form of light, heat, or sound, depending on the nature of the charging and discharging process.


What happens when you double the frequency of a vibrating object?

It is a bit difficult to answer that question without knowing what vibrating object you are talking about. For example, if you double the frequency of a vibrating tuning fork, you get a higher pitch. If you double the frequency of a vibrating electron, you get a different and more energetic type of electromagnetic radiation, for example you could shift from visible light to ultraviolet light.

Could you test the sound of light hitting an object?

light waves have no mass so when it strikes an object it causes no vibration and therefore no sound


What happens to sound as it gets farther away from the object making the sound?

It popes

Why is it not possible to use sonar to determine the speed of an object travelling faster than the speed of sound?

Sonar uses sound waves to measure distances by calculating the time it takes for the sound waves to bounce back. However, when an object is traveling faster than the speed of sound, the sound waves emitted by the sonar system cannot catch up with the object to bounce back, making it impossible to accurately determine the speed of the object using sonar.


Is an echo is an example of sound wave?

An echo is a sound wave that has bounced off a surface


Which birds uses echoes to fly safely in the dark?

Only bats do this. They make a high-piched squeak. The sound waves from the noise; if they are "bounced" of a object and heard again by the bat, the bat then knows that there is an object there and can thus avoid it.
