What things have to happen in order for an echo to happen?

Best Answer

For an echo to occur, sound must be reflected off a hard surface. Additionally, the reflected sound must reach the human ear more than 1/15 of a second after the original sound or the reflected sound will not be able to be distinguished from the original. A true echo is only reflected once.

Certain conditions optimize the creation of audible, discernible echoes. A loud sound wave creates enough noise that you'll be able to catch at least some of the wave's reflection. A smooth, large reflective surface that is at least 75 meters distant offers both a high rate of directed, rather than scattered, sound wave reflection that will travel for a short period before returning to you. A quiet background will make it easier to recognize the echo when it returns to you. Finally, if you have more than one smooth surface reflecting the sound, you'll hear it amplified much more clearly.

For an echo to occur, sound has to bounce off a wall or canyon and be received back by the source. There must be very little other sound to interfere with the sound waves.

How can you hear a reflection?

Sound can be reflected off things - a reflection of sound is called an "echo" and can be heard.

What three things can happen when a wave hits a boundary?

Part of the energy carried by the sound bounces back from the wall, and is perceived as an echo if you're far enough from the wall. The rest of the energy enters the wall. Part of that is absorbed by the material of the wall, and the rest emerges from the other side, where it may be noticeable to people on that side of the wall, especially in a cheap motel.

What reflected sound is called?

reflected sound is either reverberation or echo

What sound does not have echo?

One that has not been reflected will not have an echo,
