Description:
Without the metal plate, the ticking would be barely audible, but in the appropriate position, it can be heard very clearly: Sound waves are partly reflected when they hit an obstacle. The angle of incidence is just as big as the angle of reflection.

Information and ideas:
The experiment can be done in class together with the students.

Relevant for teaching:
