what does reverberation mean in science?

Question

A. A confused sound
B. Depends upon the number of overtones
C.Transmit sound energy

Answer 1

Reverberation is the persistence of sound in a particular space after the original sound is produced.[1] A reverberation, or reverb, is created when a sound is produced in an enclosed space causing a large number of echoes to build up and then slowly decay as the sound is absorbed by the walls and air.[2] This is most noticeable when the sound source stops but the reflections continue, decreasing in amplitude, until they can no longer be heard. The length of this sound decay, or reverberation time, receives special consideration in the architectural design of large chambers, which need to have specific reverberation times to achieve optimum performance for their intended activity



Reverberation is the collection of reflected sounds from the surfaces in an enclosure like an auditorium. It is a desirable property of auditoriums to the extent that it helps to overcome the inverse square law dropoff of sound intensity in the enclosure. However, if it is excessive, it makes the sounds run together with loss of articulation - the sound becomes muddy, garbled

Answer 2

Reverberation Definition

Answer 3

It's sound reflected from the inside of an enclosure, like a room. It can lead to confused sound if the reverberation is excessive, but it does not actually mean "confused sound". It is to some extent desirable.

Answer 4

C , would be the closest meaning. Reverberation is actually the resonant vibration found in onjects, etc., which are stimulated to vibrate.

If you want a good definition, you look up the word in a Websters dictioanry. This can be found online.
