The thermosphere layer of the atmosphere can reflect certain frequencies of sound waves due to its high temperatures and density of charged particles. This allows for the propagation of long-distance radio communications known as skywave propagation.
The layer that reflects radio waves of low frequency is the ionosphere layer known as the D-layer, which is located at an altitude of approximately 50-90 kilometers. Radio waves of low frequency, such as medium frequency (MF) and lower high frequency (HF), bounce off this layer for long-distance communication.
Sound that reflects is known as an echo. Echoes occur when sound waves bounce off surfaces and return to the listener's ears with a delay, creating a repetition of the original sound. The distance and types of surfaces the sound waves bounce off of can affect the quality and intensity of the reflected sound.
Surfaces that are hard and smooth, such as walls, floors, and ceilings, reflect sound waves effectively. Soft and porous materials, like carpets, curtains, and acoustic panels, absorb sound waves rather than reflecting them.
When sound waves are bent, they are being refracted. Refraction occurs when sound waves pass through mediums of different densities, causing them to change direction. This is commonly observed in the atmosphere, where temperature and pressure variations can lead to sound wave bending.
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.

The ionosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that reflects radio waves. This layer is able to reflect specific frequencies of radio waves back to Earth, allowing for long-distance communication using radio signals.
The "F" layer is high altitude region of ionized atoms that reflects radio waves.

It's not radio active waves; it's just radio waves. It's called the Ionosphere and depending on what layer of the Ionosphere it changes how far you can talk
The ozone layer contains electrical charged particles that reflects radio waves
X-rays and gamma rays, which have high energy levels, can be absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere and are unable to penetrate it. This absorption occurs mainly in the ionosphere, a layer of the atmosphere that reflects or absorbs these high-energy waves.
If you are talking about short waves then the ionosphere.
No, it does not. Ozone only reflects UV rays.
