MCQ
Reverberation of sound is due to:
  • A
    Multiple refractions
  • Multiple reflections
  • C
    Multiple diffractions
  • D
    Multiple polarization

Answer

Correct option: B.
Multiple reflections
Reverberation is the phenomenon of persistence of sound after it is stopped by surfaces such as furniture, people, walls, etc. within a closed space, causing multiple reflections. These reflections build up with each reflection and persist for a finite time and then decay gradually as they are slowly absorbed by the objects in the space enclosed.
