Reflection of Sound Apparatus
Product Code : SCL-PLE-11760
Quick Answer: The Reflection of Sound Apparatus uses two hollow tubes set against a 0–180° angle scale and an adjustable reflecting board to show that sound obeys the laws of reflection, with the angle of incidence equal to the angle of reflection.

Key Features
- Two hollow cylindrical tubes guide the sound to and from the reflector.
- Protractor scale from 0–180° for setting the tube angles.
- Adjustable smooth reflecting board.
- Can be used with a mechanical ticking clock or an electronic signal generator as the source.
- Sound can be detected by ear or with a microphone.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Sound guides | Two hollow cylindrical tubes |
| Angle scale | Protractor, 0–180° |
| Reflector | Adjustable smooth board |
| Sound sources supported | Mechanical ticking clock or signal generator |
| Detection | Ear or microphone |
| Principle | Laws of reflection applied to sound |
How It Is Used
A ticking clock or signal generator is placed at the end of one tube aimed at the reflecting board. The second tube is swung round the scale until the sound is heard most clearly through it, and the two angles are read. Repeating for several positions shows that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection (i = r).
