In that case, it will change direction - move differently than just in a straight line.
When a sound reflects, it bounces off a surface and changes direction. The sound wave behaves similarly to light waves reflecting off a mirror. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
Sound, like light, can travel in waves through a medium. Both sound and light can reflect, refract, and diffract when encountering obstacles or different mediums. Additionally, both sound and light can be absorbed or transmitted through certain materials.
A convex mirror does not refract light; it reflects it. When an incident ray strikes a convex mirror, it reflects back in a way that obeys the law of reflection—angle of incidence equals angle of reflection. This creates a virtual image that appears behind the mirror.
Sound can refract in different mediums due to changes in the speed of sound waves as they travel from one medium to another. When sound waves enter a new medium at an angle, they can change direction and bend, causing the sound to refract. This bending occurs because sound waves travel at different speeds in different mediums, which causes them to change direction as they move from one medium to another.
yes, sound is a wave. waves can be refracted.

They refract
yes, sound is a wave. waves can be refracted.
When a sound wave reflects off a hard surface, it bounces back towards the source. The angle of incidence (incoming angle) is equal to the angle of reflection (outgoing angle). This can create echoes and influence the overall sound in the environment.
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.
When sound originate in the water, the sound waves tend to refract down, toward the cooler water.
They bend or refract
Yes, sound waves can reflect off surfaces, causing echoes. They can also refract when passing through materials with different densities, causing changes in speed and direction. Both reflection and refraction are important phenomena in how sound behaves in different environments.
The noun form for the verb refract is refractedness. Another noun form is refraction.
