Sound Reflection

Quick fact

A single sound can reflect multiple times off surfaces, creating a series of echoes; some animals, like bats, use sound reflection to navigate in complete darkness.

Why this is interesting

Have you ever shouted into a canyon and heard your voice come back a moment later? That echo is not magic—it is sound reflection in action, and it follows precise rules that shape how we design concert halls and explore the ocean floor.
