Question

Does sound follow the same laws of reflection as light does? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes. Sound follows the same laws of reflection as light. The reflected sound wave and the incident sound wave make an equal angle with the normal to the surface at the point of incidence. Also, the reflected sound wave, the normal to the point of incidence, and the incident sound wave all lie in the same plane.

Answer 2

$\huge\boxed{\texttt{\fcolorbox{black}{black}{Answer}}}$

Yes, sound follows the same laws of reflection as that of light because, (i) Angle of incidence of sound is always equal to that of angle of reflection of sound waves. (ii) The direction in which sound is incident, the direction in which it is reflected and normal all lie in the same plane.
