What happens at the moment the wave collides with the wall determines whether we hear an echo or silence.

Professional Definition
> Reflected sound wave – a wave that occurs due to reflection at the boundary of different media.

It arises with a change in acoustic impedance. It causes the formation of echoes, reverberation, and standing waves.

## Acoustics in Simple Words
Like playing billiards – the ball (sound) hits the cushion (wall) and bounces off. If the wall is hard, the reflection is strong.

## Summary
Controlling reflected waves is the primary goal of acoustic adaptation in interiors.
