I.OBSERVATION
I. As the angles between the two tubes are the same, the receiver can hear the sound at its
maximum. On the other hand, as the angle between the two tubes are not the same, the
receiver cannot hear the sound at its maximum.
II. The receiver cannot clearly hear any sound from the other tube as she lift the tube off the
table.
III. The receiver can easily determine the intensity of the sound from the sound source with the
use an alarm clock of a wristwatch (or any device as long as it is not too loud) since its sound
is not loud enough to be heard directly by the observer.
IV. The receiver have tried smooth (and hard) and rough surfaces to test whether it affects the
sound reflection. The receiver have observed that smooth and hard surfaces reflect sound
better than rough ones.

II.CONCLUSION
This experiment primarily demonstrated the relationship between the angle of incidence
and the angle of reflection. Indeed, the angle of incidence must be equal to the angle of reflection
and should lie in the same plane to get the sound at its maximum. Generally, this phenomenon is
called the Reflection of Sound, which obeys the Laws of reflection. However, in this experiment, the
usage of smooth and hard surfaces made the sound reflect from the angle of incidence tube into the
reflected wave tube specularly. This means that the angle of incidence being equal to the angle of
reflection does not only affects the sound but also the plane (or the surface) where the sound strikes
or reflects. Furthermore, waves bounces off as it reflects to hard surfaces while smooth surfaces
diffuse or scatters the reflected waves.

I.OBSERVATION
1. Circular vessel (See Figure 2.1)
1.2 As the water drops on the center of the vessel, the spherical wave strikes on the
concave reflector going back directly towards the droplet origin.
1.3 As the water drops on the side of the vessel, the wave strikes converging at a focal
point along the curve’s surface. The wave near the surface reflects towards the concave
reflector on the opposite side.

2. Square vessel (See Figure 2.2)

2.1 As the incident wave reflect on the plane (side of the square vessel) surface, the
direction of the reflected wave is the same as the incident wave. However, the location
of the droplet origin caused the waves behave in different manner:

2.1.1. Water droplet origin is near the plane surface

Plane surface A
Plane surface B
Plane surface C
Figure 1.5. Water droplet origin is near the plane surface
Observation:
• The direction of incident wave is the same as the reflected wave.

• Plane surface A reflected to it in high wave pressure while the reflection at plane surface
B is in low pressure. They are not in equilibrium. Hence, they collide near plane surface
B.
• Both Plane surface C and B have equal incident and reflected wave. Since, they have
the same pressure (equilibrium), they collide at the center.
2.1.2 Water droplet origin is at the center
Since, water wave energy is equally distributed, the waves reflected on all four sides
going back towards the center, where the droplet origin took place.

origin

Similar to plane surface, the difference is it reflects on two plane surfaces which gives us
two reflections. Still, the incident wave and reflected wave are the same.
3. Rectangular vessel (See Figure 1.3
3.1 As the incident wave reflect on the plane (side of the square vessel) surface, the
direction of the reflected wave is the same as the incident wave. However, the location
of the droplet origin and the dimension of the sides caused the waves behave in
different manner:
Most likely similar to square vessel, however, it took much time for the waves to
collide/meet between plane surfaces C and D while multiple later reflections between
plane surfaces A and B.

3.2. Incident wave reflected at the corner
Same thing with the square vessel, the only difference is the multiple later
reflections in rectangular vessel due to its parallel surfaces (Plane surface A and B).

4. Rectangular vessel (See Figure 2.3)
4.1 As the water drops on the center of the vessel, the waves strikes more on the side
with smaller dimension. Since, the smaller dimension (width) produces higher
frequency while the larger dimension (length) produce lower frequency.
4.2 As the water drops on the side of the vessel, the same thing happens with the square
II.CONCLUSION
The experiment showed how reflection is observed in water similarly to sound
waves. The angle of reflection is observed as the water drops on the vessel and strike on its
surface. The variations of vessels with different surfaces but uniformly hard surfaces made
the behavior of water differ from one another but still generally applies the reflection of sound
having equal incident and reflected wave. In sound waves, this phenomenon causes
reverberation and echo to occur.

NOTE: : The distance between the dropper and the vessel used in both conditions is 15
inches to avoid discrepancy. Both hard surfaces and smooth surfaces as barriers are
used.

1.5 in. apart I. The water is dropped at the center:
• As the drop reached the pool of water,
spherical wave is observed. However, due to
the parallel surface, it turned into plane
wave.
2.5 in. apart II. The same with Observation I.
3.5 in. apart III. The time of spherical wave is longer than
Observation I and II.
4.5 in. apart IV. Spherical waves is observed with an
absence of plane waves. The water waves are not
trap.
CONDITION II: Barriers are Hard Surfaces

Most likely similar results with Condition I. However, the difference is the
period of waves as it reflect the surfaces. Thus, the material of the surface affected the
behavior of water waves, in this case, its period.
II.CONCLUSION
The experiment demonstrated the behavior of water wave relative to sound wave.
The barriers despite of its material, corresponds to a hallway or corridor. This phenomenon
traps water waves preventing the occurrence of spherical wave resulting into a plane wave.
Plane waves propagated in single direction like string wave, while in spherical waves
disturbances propagated outward in all directions from the source of wave. This can be
also observed in sound and light waves. Using different materials of barrier did not
change the behavior of water waves. The presence of planes waves and the absence
of spherical waves. However, the period of water waves is observed due to absorption
capacity of rough surfaces and non-absorption of hard surfaces.
The architectural approach in resolving this problem is to install absorptive or
diffusive object or surface in the flutter path.

Figure 3.2. Smooth Surface
OBSERVATION
1.1 As the water drops on one side of the vessel, the waves droplet travelled
through the gap and spreads out on the other of the vessel.
1.2 Gap width observation:

12 mm gap leads to more spreading out of the wave. On the other hand,
20 mm gap lead to less spreading out of the wave, the diffraction is less
pronounced.
1.3 Droplet height observation:
As the medicine dropper is at a great distance (15 in. away), leads to
more spreading out of the wave. On the other hand, a 3 in. distance from
vessel leads to less spreading out of the wave.
10
1.4 The waves on the side where the water drop took place reflects on the
surfaces including the barrier.
1.5 Barrier observation
If it is well- observed, the wave bounces off freely on the hard surfaces
than the smooth surfaces. It the waves decays faster in smooth surfaces.
II.CONCLUSION
The experiment demonstrated the diffraction, the bending of waves around the
barrier. Sound waves bend around the object or diffract just like waves in water.
Some sound waves will hit the entry way and get absorbed, but others make it
through the entryway and transfer the energy to particles on the other side. There are
some factors affecting the diffraction. First, the longer wavelengths with low frequency
waves diffract more, since, they bend so much it is more difficult to locate its
origin/source which makes them less directional. On the other hand, shorter
wavelengths with higher frequency waves don’t bend as much making it more
directional. The high frequency parts of the sound can’t bend around barriers, so they
get absorbed by the surroundings. Thus, as the water wave with high frequency
reflected (angle of reflection) on the surface, the surface absorbed its energy.
Conducting this experiment is relevant for architectural purposes, since,
diffraction is a prominent issue in designing. Thus, being knowledgeable in its
properties enables to resolve the issue in architectural approach . The sense of
privacy and comfortably is affected as diffraction occurs. In this case, high absorbing
materials and the planning of fenestration and arrangement of spaces are highly
considered.

Figure 4. Rough and Smooth Surfaces
I. OBSERVATION
Note: The distance between the dropper and the vessel is 15 inches that is used in both
conditions to avoid discrepancy. All conditions used the same rectangular vessels with
hard and smooth surfaces.
CONDITION I: The barrier is placed at the midsection of the vessel:
1. ROUGH SURFACES
1.1 As the water drop released from the dropper, the incident waves
reflecting on the rough surfaces (the barrier) are in different angles. As
a result, the observer cannot determine its reflected waves.
1.2 The later reflections diminishes as they continue to travel and reflect.
2. HARD SURFACES
2.1 The same thing happened with Experiment 1 in square vessel.
As the water drop released from the dropper, the angle of incident
waves reflecting on the hard surfaces (the barrier) are the same with
the reflected wave.
12
2.2 The later reflections diminishes less compared with rough surfaces as they
continue to travel and reflect.
CONDITION II: The barrier is placed 5 inches away from the surface of the vessel.
1. ROUGH SURFACES
1.1 The behavior of reflected wave are the same with CONDITION I.
However, the larger surface made the later reflection of waves decays
longer in time. In sound waves, this is called the reverberation time.
This enables the observer to distinguish the angles of reflected waves.
2. HARD SURFACES
2.1 The behavior of reflected wave are the same with CONDITION II.
However, larger surface made the later reflection of waves decays
longer in time. In sound waves, this is called the reverberation time.
CONDITION III: The barrier is placed on 2.5 inches away from the surface of the
vessel.
1. ROUGH SURFACES
1.1 Even though the barrier and the opposite hard surface is parallel to
one another. Flutter echo did not occurred, Since, the rough barrier
absorbs the energy produces by the wave that averted to occurrence
of flutter echo.
2. HARD SURFACES
2.1 Since, the hard barrier and the opposite hard surface caused the
waves to reflect between two hard surfaces.
II. CONCLUSION
The experiment demonstrated the ability of materials to affect the angle of reflected
waves. Rough surfaces tremendously affect the direction of reflected water wave as it hits the
surface. This phenomenon is called diffuse reflection. Unlike specular reflection, diffuse
reflection occurs when rough surface because the water meets the surface at many different
angles. In terms of the distance between the barrier and the opposite surface, the longer
distance makes the later reflections less diminish in time. But still the diffuse of reflection still
occurs.
This phenomenon can also be observed in an enclosed spaces. Indeed, materials
can greatly affect direction or angle of the sound reflected waves. Furthermore, this can be
resolved in architectural approach by the selection wall, floor, and ceiling materials.
