The one-word definition of reflection of sound is ‘echo’!

 

As a part of the question only implies, a reflection of sound is known as the bouncing back of a wave of sound from the surface of a solid or liquid. Sound reflection is bound by the laws of reflection, which are similar to that of the laws of reflecting light. Having said that, sound waves have a longer wavelength compared to that of the waves of light. 

 

Unlike light, sound waves do not necessarily require smooth surfaces for reflections to suffer. This is the reason why even an obstruction like a wall or board is known to reflect the waves of sound.

 

Speaking of reflection of sound, the echo is a form of reflection where the sound arrives at the listener with a delay, which is the factor of the speed of sound that hits an obstruction.

Hope this helps

The phenomenon of returning sound to the same medium when striking a substantial obstacle is called reflection of sound.

When sound travels in a given medium, it strikes the surface of another medium and bounces back in some other direction, this phenomenon is called the reflection of sound. The waves are called the incident and reflected sound waves.

Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated. Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves.
