You can hear your echo in an open space because sound waves bounce off surfaces and reflect back to you, creating a delayed repetition of the original sound. The time it takes for the sound to travel to a surface and bounce back determines how far away the surface is from you.

Where would you expect to hear an echo?

You would expect to hear an echo in places that have hard and flat surfaces such as canyons, mountains, empty rooms, or hallways. Sound waves bounce off these surfaces and return to the listener after a slight delay, creating the echo effect.


What do you hear when sound bounces off the wall?

When sound bounces off a wall, you hear an echo. The reflection of the sound waves off the wall creates a delay in the arrival of the sound to your ears, resulting in the perception of an echo. The size, shape, and distance of the wall can affect the characteristics of the echo.


What term explains why you hear an echo?

when you produce sound, and it hits a barrier, and reflect back. echo is hearing the sound again after the vanish of the original sound. you can only hear it if these two reasons are satisfied: 1) the barrier should be wide (large) enough. 2) distance between source of sound ( the observer) and the barrier is 17 meters or more. OR The easiest answer is that you hear echo by your own ears. DONE BY AHMED HUSSIEN and i thank mr. Ahmed my physics teacher... because without him i wouldn't of had these information....


When you hear an echo you are hearing a of the original sound wave.?

It is a reflection.


When a sound wave is reflected what do you hear?

When a sound wave is reflected, you may hear an echo or reverberation of the original sound. The reflected sound wave can create additional auditory cues that can affect how the sound is perceived in the environment.
