Question

Reflection of sound can also take place on a rough surface. Explain, why?

Answer 1

1. Reflection of sound: When a sound wave travels in a given medium, it strikes a different medium's surface and bounces back. This phenomenon is known as the reflection of sound.
2. When a sound wave hits a smooth surface, more sound will be reflected than on a rough surface. This is because a rough surface allows more internal reflections, resulting in more absorption and less reflection.
3. This shows that sound reflection can also take place on a rough surface but less than that on a smooth surface.
