What Is A Refraction Of Sound Waves?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    When the sound waves enter from one medium to the other medium having different densities then the waves change their path. This bending of sound waves is known as refraction. Refraction is considered as a very important phenomenon for the transmission of sound waves from one origin to the other. The application of sound waves come when air above the earth is warmer as compare to air on earth surface. In such situation sound will be bent back downward toward the surface of the earth because of refraction of sound waves.
