Give two practical applications of reflection of sound waves.

Explanation

Ear trumpet : It is a sort of machine used by persons who are hard of hearing . The sound energy received by the wide end of the trumpet is propagated into a much smaller area at the narrow end by multiple reflections. The narrow end of the trumpet which is inserted in the ear delivers the entire amount of sound energy falling on the wide end which makes the inaudible sound audible to the user.
Stethoscope : It is a medical instrument used frequently by doctors for making a rough diagnosis of the diseases existing inside the body at places which are either inaccessible or accessible only through major operations. This is also based on the principle of multiple reflection of sound.
