USES FOR REFLECTION
REFRACTION Sound waves will bend when there is a change in the temperature of the air.
INTERFERENCE Interference of sound waves is the reason for beats in music and sonic booms. Waves experience constructive interference when the plane travels faster than the speed of sound.
Constructive Interference Regular Speed Increased speed Constructive Interference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o0zmafxTmE Faster than sound BOOM
DOPPLER EFFECT The apparent change in sound frequency as an object moves. ☺ As the car moves toward you the pitch increases. ☺As it moves away, the pitch decreases
