The water will reflect some of the sound, and some will travel downward through the water.

Yes, water can reflect sound waves. The reflection occurs when the sound waves hit the surface of the water and bounce back, similar to how light reflects off a mirror.

Does mirrors reflect sound?

No, mirrors do not reflect sound. Mirrors reflect light waves, but sound waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. Sound waves do not bounce off mirrors as they are not capable of reflecting sound.


Can a mirror reflect sound?

No, mirrors cannot reflect sound as they are designed to reflect light. Sound waves interact differently with surfaces compared to light waves, so while mirrors work for reflecting light, they do not work for reflecting sound.


Do solids reflect sound?

Yes, they do.

Light is to reflect as sound is to what?

Sound is to echo. Just like light bounces off surfaces to reflect, sound waves can bounce off surfaces and repeat in an echo.


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.

Why echo is not produced in many places?

Some surfaces reflect sound well, others don't.


Does an echo refract or reflect?

An echo is created when sound waves reflect off a surface and return to the listener. In this process, the sound waves do not refract, but rather bounce off the surface at an angle equal to the incident angle.


Why does silver foil reflect sound?

Becuase sound can not go through solid objects.


Why do walls amplify sound?

Hard reflexions from walls reflect the sound and add it to the direct sound. That gives amplification of the total sound.
