reflecting sound is a phenomenon. Sound reflect when the a sequence of compression and rarefaction hit the wall then wall,s surface particles also vibrate.The vibration of sound(C and R) vibrates and the particle of sound reflected back.If this is hard wall then wall's particles easily push the particle of sound.But when it is a soft body then particles will loosely push back. When a longitudinal sound wave strikes a flat surface, sound is reflected in a coherent manner provided that the dimension of the reflective surface is large compared to the wavelength of the sound. Note that audible sound has a very wide frequency range (from 20 to about 17000 Hz), and thus a very wide range of wavelengths (from about 20 mm to 17 m). .Reflection is responsible for many interesting phenomena. Echoes are the sound of your own voice reflecting back to your ears. The sound you hear ringing in an auditorium after the band has stopped playing is caused by reflection off the walls and other objects.

∙ 12y agoThe reflection of sound follows the law "angle of incidence equals angle of reflection", sometimes called the law of reflection. The same behavior is observed with light and other waves, and by the bounce of a billiard ball off the bank of a table. The reflected waves can interfere with incident waves, producing patterns of constructive and destructive interference. This can lead to resonances called standing waves in rooms. It also means that the sound intensity near a hard surface is enhanced because the reflected wave adds to the incident wave, giving a pressure amplitude that is twice as great in a thin "pressure zone" near the surface. This is used in pressure zone microphones to increase sensitivity. The doubling of pressure gives a 6 decibel increase in the signal picked up by the microphone. Reflection of waves in strings and air columns are essential to the production of resonant standing waves in those systems.

How does sound reflect plastic?
Its simple plastic is hollow and and sound waves usully bounce off of hollow things
How do ear defenders reflect sound waves?
Ear defenders don't reflect sound waves, they absorb or reduce the amplitude of the sound.
Does water reflect sound?
The water will reflect some of the sound, and some will travel downward through the water.
What do sound waves reflect?
i think they reflect echo..... not too sure
Light is to reflect as sound is to what?
Echo

Do solids reflect sound?
Yes, they do.
Light is to reflect as sound is to what?
Echo
Sound is to echo as light is to what?
Reflect
Do invisible things reflect light?
No, invisible things do not reflect light. But again, invisible things do not exist.
Can sound reflect with a rocky cliff?
Yes.
To bounce sound or light from a surface?
Reflect
Can plastic reflect sound and what is the science behind it?
All solids can reflect sound. Different plastics reflect by different amounts. Sound waves are vibrations. They transfer energy to the solid when they hit it, and the particles of solid vibrate more, and can transfer this vibration back to the air.
Which of the following properties of sound is the most similar to the brightness of light?
Both sound and light waves reflect. Sound waves reflect off of objects to create an echo. Light waves reflect off of objects and point the light in another direction.
