Multiple Choice
You are in a sound-proofed hallway. Someone standing around the corner from you speaks and you hear them. Which claim offers the best evidence and reasoning for this phenomenon?
Sound is not affected by types of materials, because sound can travel though solids, liquids, and gases.
Sound waves are absorbed by the sound-proofed walls and then transmitted through the wall to your ear.
Sound waves diffract so even though the walls do not reflect the sound wave, the sound wave can still travel to your ear.
Sound-proof walls allow sound waves to reflect all of the sound that is directed toward them. So the sound must bounce off them and go to your ear.
