No, sound waves are not deflected by the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect is a phenomenon that affects the motion of objects in a rotating frame of reference, such as the rotation of the Earth. It causes moving objects, such as projectiles or fluids, to appear to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
However, the Coriolis effect does not directly impact sound waves because sound waves are pressure waves that propagate through a medium, such as air or water. The Coriolis effect primarily affects large-scale atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns, as well as the movement of objects influenced by those fluids, such as winds and ocean currents.
While the Coriolis effect does not directly influence sound waves, it can indirectly affect the movement of air masses and winds, which may in turn affect the speed and direction of sound propagation in an outdoor environment. For example, wind patterns influenced by the Coriolis effect can impact the transmission of sound over long distances by altering the speed and direction of the wind carrying the sound waves.
