Question

Explain how an echo is made. why are echos heard sometimes but not others

Answer 1

An echo is a sound that is repeated because the sound waves are reflected back. Sound waves can bounce off smooth, hard objects in the same way as a rubber ball bounces off the ground. Although the direction of the sound changes, the echo sounds the same as the original sound. Some echoes are not heard because if you have stuff in an empty room it will interfere with the sound waves and stop them from making an echo also if there are soft objects the sound wave will be absorbed and not make an echo.

Hey❤️

Explain how an echo is made?

➜ An echo is a sound that is repeated because the sound waves are reflected back. Sound waves can bounce off smooth, hard objects in the same way as a rubber ball bounces off the ground. Although the direction of the sound changes, the echo sounds the same as the original sound.

Why are echos heard sometimes but not others?

➜ So, the reason that echoes aren't heard in rooms is that the reflected sounds are received in less than 0.1 seconds, or the reflecting surfaces are at distances of less than 17 meters. Reverberations can also be heard in an empty apartment.
