  1. Which phenomenon is responsible for the echo of sound wave?
    1. Reflection
    2. Refraction
    3. Interference
    4. Polarisation
Correct Option: A

Reflection of sound waves off of surfaces lead to one of two phenomena - an echo or a reverberation.The echo is produced due to hitting of the sound waves with the obstacles which makes the sound to reflect back.Echoes occur when a reflected sound wave reaches the ear more than 0.1 seconds after the original sound wave was heard.
