Figure 10-1 illustrates the reflection of waves from a sound source from a rigid, plane wall surface. The spherical wavefronts (solid lines) strike the wall and the reflected wavefronts (broken lines) ...

Sound waves can reflect off surfaces. We hear reflected sound waves as echoes. Hard, smooth surfaces are particularly good at reflecting sound. This is why empty rooms produce lots of echoes. Soft ...

establishes the perception of the direction from which the sound came. Even though it is immediately inundated by a stream of reflections from the various surfaces of the room, this directional ...
