Materials that are good reflectors of sound include:
- Polished wood
- Bricks
- Glass
- Smooth surfaces
Hard objects are the good reflectors of sound because particles bounce straight off them. If they are smooth, the sound reflects at the same angle it hit the surface and is not spread out.
What else can I help you with?
What is the material which sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material like metal or concrete. The medium acts as a carrier for the sound waves to propagate.
How does soft material absorb sound vibrations?
Soft materials absorb sound vibrations by converting the acoustic energy into mechanical energy within the material itself. As sound waves travel through the material, their energy is dissipated as they cause the material to vibrate internally, reducing the amplitude of the sound waves. This process is facilitated by the ability of soft materials to deform and dampen the sound waves effectively.
What happens when sound travels through material?
When sound travels through a material, the sound waves cause the particles in the material to vibrate back and forth, transferring the sound energy. The speed of sound in the material varies based on its density and elasticity. The sound waves can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through the material, depending on its properties.
How could a converging lens be made for sound waves?
A converging lens for sound waves can be made by using a curved surface with a shape that focuses the sound waves to a point. This can be achieved by shaping a rigid material such as metal or plastic. The curvature and material properties need to be carefully designed to ensure the sound waves converge at the desired focal point.
What are the examples mechanical waves?
Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves. These waves require a medium, such as air, water, or solid material, to propagate energy.
What are waves that are passes through a material?
sound waves
Waves that are passed through a material are called what?
sound waves
How do curtains and carpets help in acoustical control?
A simple answer from a simple man. Sound waves travel until they hit something solid and then bounce back. Carpet and curtains are not even solid surfaces where sound waves can bounce back from. If they (the sound waves), have nothing to bounce from they stop traveling. The material of the carpet and curtain actually redirects the sound waves throughout the material instead of coming back to you.
How does sound travel from instruments to your ears?
Sound creates waves in a material- compression waves. These waves are transmitted through the atoms/molecules in the material to the receiver. The denser a material is, the more effectively sound may travel; this is because the sound waves are transmitted more easily through the tightly packed molecules.
Why sound need medium while it propagation?
Because sound waves are mechanical vibrations of material matter. You can't have sound waves in a space where there's no material to vibrate.
What is the material which sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material like metal or concrete. The medium acts as a carrier for the sound waves to propagate.
Ein which of the follwing can sound waves not travil?
Sound waves can travel through any compressible material (which means any real material), be it solid, liquid, or gas. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum.
How does soft material absorb sound vibrations?
Soft materials absorb sound vibrations by converting the acoustic energy into mechanical energy within the material itself. As sound waves travel through the material, their energy is dissipated as they cause the material to vibrate internally, reducing the amplitude of the sound waves. This process is facilitated by the ability of soft materials to deform and dampen the sound waves effectively.

Can sound waves be reflected from liquids or gases?
Yes, sound waves can be reflected fro liquids or gases that present a interface with another material or the same material of a different density.
What are sound waves called?
Sound waves are called mechanical waves cause they need a material medium for their flow. Not only are they mechanical, but compression & lonqitudinal. -Apex:)
Why does the sound stop after a short time?
sound waves dissapate depending on location
