Solution

Reflection of sound waves:

  1. Sound reflection occurs when soundwaves bounce back from the surface of a solid or liquid.
  2. Many fascinating phenomena, such as echo and reverberation, are caused by sound reflection.
  3. The reflection of sound, like the reflection of light, obeys laws.
  4. When a sound hits a hard surface, it bounces back to its source.
  5. This type of sound reflection is known as an echo. Soft materials absorb and muffle sound, whereas hard surfaces reflect it.
  6. If the frequency of the sound wave is low, it will not be reflected.
