9. Persistence of sound in an enclosed space, as a result of multiple reflections or scattering after the sound source has stopped.

10. Reverberation

11. The time elapsed for the sound to die away in an enclosed room.

reverberation time (reverberation)

12. The time considered to have a reverberation effect.

One millionth

13. the perceptible repetition of sound due to multiple reflection of sound waves between the walls of a room is called

echo.

14. A room in which the walls, floor, and ceiling can absorb very little sound, resulting in echoes.

Reverberation chamber.

15. Room whose boundaries absorb effectively all incident sound.

Anechoic room.

16. Resonant acoustic device consisting of air cavity connected to a larger space by a relatively small opening or neck.

Helmholtz resonator.

17. Sound reverberation is dependent on.

Listener position and room dimension

18. The distance between the sound source and the listener wherein the direct sound level is equal to the reverberant field.

Critical distance

19. Most people commonly receive an increase in sound level of

6 to 10 dB.

20. In a typical hi-fi system in a living room, which sound wave is the most dominant?

Reverberant field

21. A room which causes the sound to die away very quickly.

Dead room

22. A room which causes the sound to die away very slowly.

Live room

23. An electronic device used to produce special sound effects when it is held against the throat of the user
