Large obstacles reflects sound waves. If you shout in front of a valley the sound wave travels in all directions and is reflected by an obstacle such as a wall or a cliff.

How are reflections of sound waves used?

Because when it reflects off of the rarefaction, it tightens causing sound waves to burst.


What is sound that reflects?

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.


What reflects sound waves best?

Any very hard very smooth surface.


What happens when a sound reflects?

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.


How sound waves can be used to find underwater objects?

Sound travels through water. Sound reflects from objects with different densities. You can listen for the echoes.


Does water reflect sound?

The water will reflect some of the sound, and some will travel downward through the water.


What 2 things can be reflected?

Light and sound waves can both be reflected. Light reflects off of smooth surfaces like mirrors, while sound waves reflect off of hard surfaces like walls or cliffs.


Multiple reflection of sound?

multiple reflection of sound is the process in which sound waves bounces off obstacles and reflects many times before reaching the destination. this is the phenomena that occurs in a stethescope. sound waves reflect through the tube many times before reaching the ears of the doctor


What is a sound shadow?

A sound shadow refers to the area where sound waves are blocked or weakened by an obstruction, creating a quieter zone. It occurs when an object absorbs or reflects sound, creating a barrier for the transmission of sound waves. Sound shadows are commonly experienced in outdoor environments where obstacles like buildings or mountains block the direct path of sound waves.


An echo occurs when sound what?

What sound waves do?

Sound waves carry sound


How is sonar waves created?

Sonar waves are created by emitting sound pulses into the water from a transducer. These sound pulses travel through the water until they hit an object, which reflects the sound back towards the source. By measuring the time it takes for the sound to return, sonar systems can calculate the distance and shape of the object.
