2. The angle of incidence of sound wave is always to the angle of reflection of sound wave.
3. The incident sound wave, reflected sound wave and the normal to the reflecting surface at the point of , all lie in the same plane.
4. A musical instrument is producing a continuous note. This note cannot be heard by a person having a normal hearing range. This note must then be passing through .
5. The sound waves travel fastest in . (solids / liquids)
