The persistence of audible sound due to the successive reflections from the surrounding objects even after the source has stopped to produce that sound is called _________.

  1. reflection

  2. echo

  3. reverberation

  4. rarefaction
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In big rooms or halls,echos (due to multiple reflection of sound from the walls, roof, floor) follow so closely behind the original sound that the original sound appears to be prolonged even when the source of sound stops producing sound.

Why do distant sounds such as those of traffic and loudspeakers become louder during the night time than during the day time?

  1. Due to the reflection of sound waves.

  2. Due to the refraction of sound waves.

  3. Due to the absence of other sounds.

  4. Due to a clear perception of hearing.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Sound waves travel differently at night than during the day. During the day, the sound bends away from the ground;during the night, it bends towards the ground.

In an unoccupied hall of a choultry you will experience the echo effect of sound. If the same hall is furnished with almirahs, tables, chairs,and other commodities, you may not experience the echo clearly. It is because, 

  1. Sound waves get absorbed by the objects in the hall.

  2. The area of reflecting surface decreases.

  3. Reflected sound is reflected again.

  4. Sound does not get reflected again.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

echo is heard due to reflection of sound and if obstacles are placed in path of sound then they will either absorb sound or will not perfectly reflect sound as before so echo will be not effective one .

so the answer is A.

The persistence of sound in a closed enclosure, due to continuous reflections at the walls, even after the source has stopped producing sound is known as

  1. The persistence of hearing

  2. An echo

  3. Reverberation

  4. The ultra sounds
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Reverberation is the phenomenon of persistence of sound in a closed enclosure, due to multiple reflection of sound from the walls, even after the source has stopped producing sound. The intensity of sound gets reduced after each reflection.

Select the instrument that works on the principle of multiple reflection of sound.

  1. Watthour meter

  2. Sonar

  3. Stethoscope

  4. Decibel meter

C Correct answer
Explanation

The sound of a heartbeat ( or lungs ) reaches the doctor's ears by the multiple reflections of sound waves though the stethoscope tube.

Perforated card boards are used in halls, for

  1. reflection of sound

  2. absorption of sound

  3. refraction of sound

  4. as a decorative material
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Perforated card boards are used for the absorption of sound, as they are good sound absorbents and decrease reverberation time.

For good absorption of sound in auditorium it requires

  1. a few windows to be opened

  2. all closed windows

  3. maps hanging from walls

  4. hanging light curtains.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A few window should be kept opened for the good absorption of sound in auditorium. Because if we open few windows, more sound will absorbed and more will be the sound clarity and better sound effect can be experienced.

In an auditorium the big curtain when falls suddenly then the reverberation time

  1. increases

  2. decreases

  3. Remains same

  4. becomes zero
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The reverberation time will get decreased because curtain will abrosh the sound and more sound will get abrashed then the earlier.
