Solution

The bouncing back of a sound wave on hitting a hard surface is known as reflection.

Explanation:

Just like light waves bounce off a mirror, sound waves also bounce back when they strike a hard surface (like a wall or a cliff). This bouncing back of sound energy into the same medium is called the reflection of sound.
