Echo is formed due to:

Answer: Reflection of sound.

  • A Refraction of sound
  • B Reflection of sound
  • C Diffraction of sound
  • D Interference of sound

Correct answer: B. Reflection of sound

Explanation: Echo is the repetition of sound due to reflection from a distant surface.

Standing Wave: Nodes and Antinodes (Open Pipe, 2nd Harmonic)nodenodenodeantinodeantinodeSolid and dashed lines show the string/air column at two instants - nodes never move

A standing wave forms from two identical waves travelling in opposite directions and interfering; nodes (always zero displacement) and antinodes (maximum displacement) stay fixed in place, unlike a travelling wave where the whole pattern moves.

Concept context

Wave types, superposition, standing waves, Doppler effect, and sound intensity.
