not all of the waves are reflected.This is how it goes,if sound waves hit a smooth,hard surface.Some of the sounds are reflected.the sound that bounce back is called an echo
What else can I help you with?
Which wave refracts?
All types of waves can refract, including light waves, sound waves, and seismic waves. Refraction occurs when a wave changes direction as it passes from one medium to another at an angle, due to a change in the wave's speed.
What seismic wave refracts and cannot penetrate the core?
Surface waves such as Love waves and Rayleigh waves refract when they encounter the core beneath the Earth's surface. These waves cannot penetrate the core due to the difference in density and composition between the core and the surrounding layers of the Earth.
What is a piece of glass that refracts light?
A prism is a piece of glass that refracts light by separating it into its component colors.
How does sound bend as in Sound Refraction?
Sound bends or refracts when it passes through mediums of different densities or temperatures. When the speed of sound changes in a medium, the direction of the sound wave can also change due to the change in propagation speed. This phenomenon is similar to how light refracts when passing through different materials.
Do light rays reflect or refract when they hit a concave mirror?
Light rays reflect when they hit a concave mirror. The parallel rays of light converge at the focal point after reflection.
Does the ionosphere bend radio waves back toward the earth?
it refracts the radio waves back towards the earth
What area of earth is not affected by both p and s waves?
The liquid outer core of the Earth's interior refracts p-waves at the boundary with the mantle, and does not carry s-waves.
The area of the Earth's interior which refracts P-waves creating a shadow zone is called the?
outer core

Surface waves such as Love waves and Rayleigh waves refract when they encounter the core beneath the Earth's surface. These waves cannot penetrate the core due to the difference in density and composition between the core and the surrounding layers of the Earth.
Can a mirror refracts light?
No, a mirror can not refrect. Instead, it can reflect. Water is an example of a substance that refracts.
What is a piece of glass that refracts light?
A prism is a piece of glass that refracts light by separating it into its component colors.
Does prism refracts?
yes.
How does sound bend as in Sound Refraction?
Sound bends or refracts when it passes through mediums of different densities or temperatures. When the speed of sound changes in a medium, the direction of the sound wave can also change due to the change in propagation speed. This phenomenon is similar to how light refracts when passing through different materials.
Do light rays reflect or refract when they hit a concave mirror?
Light rays reflect when they hit a concave mirror. The parallel rays of light converge at the focal point after reflection.
What does it mean if a wave refracts?
When a wave refracts, it changes direction as it crosses into a medium with a different density. This change in direction occurs because the wave's speed changes when moving from one medium to another, causing it to bend. Refraction is a common phenomenon that can be observed with various types of waves, such as light and sound.
What happens to a p wave when it crosses the mantle to the core?
When a P wave travels from the mantle to the core, it gradually slows down and refracts due to the differences in material density and composition. As it enters the outer core, the P wave undergoes a sudden increase in velocity and refracts again. This change in velocity causes the P wave to travel along the boundary of the outer core, creating a shadow zone on the opposite side of the Earth where the wave is not detected by seismometers.
