Question

what is a name for a reflected sound wave

Answer 1

When sound travels in a given medium, it

strikes the surface of another medium and

bounces back in some other direction, this

phenomenon is called the reflection of

sound. The waves are called the incident

1. and reflected sound waves.

Answer 2

The correct answer is - Echo.

Sound waves get reflected when they meet an interference. They get reflected back in the direction of the incident wavefront.

Echo is the reflection of sound waves that occur in places that are closed and have hard walls. Like in caves, empty halls, etc.

Reverberation is also like an echo, but for a reverberation to occur the distance in between the walls should be very less.
