Describe what each of these words means in terms of acoustics/sound.

Reflection

Absorption

DIffusion

Diffraction

Refraction

Answer 1

Reflection- serious thought or consideration

Absorption- the process or action by which one thing absorbs or is absorbed by another.

Diffusion- the spreading of something more widely.

Diffraction- the process by which a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge, typically accompanied by interference between the wave forms produced.

Refraction- measurement of the focusing characteristics of an eye or eyes

Answer 2

Reflection is where the sound seems to bounce off the instrument and play back at its surroundings

Absorption is the opposite of reflection, where a physical object absorbs the sound rather than bounces it away.

Diffusion is an even spread of a sound across a given area

Diffraction is the bending of sound waves around barriers

Refraction is the bending of sound propagation trajectories
