The spreading of sound waves around openings and barriers is called?

The spreading of sound waves around openings and barriers is called diffraction. This phenomenon occurs when sound waves encounter obstacles or openings, causing them to bend and spread out as they pass through or around these barriers. Diffraction is most noticeable when the size of the obstacle or opening is similar to the wavelength of the sound. This effect allows sound to be heard even when the source is not directly in line with the listener.


What is receiving soundwaves?

Receiving sound waves is the process by which sound travels in form of waves and is received by our eardrums to be heard.


When when a ringing bell is touched no sound is heard?

When a ringing bell is touched, no sound is heard because direct contact dampens the vibrations that produce sound waves. The bell's sound is created by its metal vibrating freely in the air, and touching it absorbs some of that energy, reducing or eliminating the vibrations necessary for sound. Additionally, touching the bell may also interrupt its resonance or frequency, further diminishing the sound produced.

How can you hear a reflection?

A reflection of sound waves can be heard by an observer when the sound waves bounce off a surface and propagate back towards the listener. This causes a delay in the arrival time of the sound to the listener's ears, creating an echo effect.
