The persistence of sound in an auditorium is the result of repeated reflections of sound and is called _______.

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) Reverberation.
· Reverberation is the persistence of sound in an enclosed space due to multiple reflections after the original sound source has stopped.
· It occurs when sound waves bounce off surfaces such as walls, ceilings, and floors, creating a prolonged sound effect.
· Properly managed reverberation is essential in designing auditoriums, as it affects the clarity and quality of sound.
Information Booster:
· Intensity:
· Refers to the amount of energy a sound wave carries per unit area, measured in decibels (dB). It is not related to the persistence of sound due to reflections.
· Vibration:
· Refers to the oscillatory motion of particles in a medium caused by a sound wave, but it is not specifically related to the persistence of sound in an enclosed space.
· Ranging:
· Typically refers to the process of measuring distance, often used in technologies like sonar and radar. It is not related to sound reflections in an auditorium.
