Occurs when waves are not absorbed but instead bounce off and away from the surface.
(ex: echoes, mirrors)

When waves are taken into an object.
(ex: sound proofing walls)
Absorption

Similar to sonar, but used by animals such as bats and dolphins to help with hunting and navigation.
Echolocation
400
When the crest of one wave meets the trough of another, resulting in the waves cancelling each other out. (hint: ______________ interference)

Sonar, Ultrasound, Echolocation, and Car Parking sensors all rely on this behavior of high frequency sound waves. They send out these sound waves and listen for the ____________ or echo of the waves.
Reflection
500
When two or more sound waves with like frequencies are combined, resulting in an increase in amplitude. (Hint: musical instruments use this to increase intensity and volume of sound.)
