Answer:
Correct Answer: 9. (d)
Solution:
- (d) The time gap between the initial direct note and the reflected note upto the minimum andibility level is called reverberation time.
Sabine has shown that standard reverberation time for an auditorium is given by the formula
$ T_R=K \frac{V}{\alpha S} $
Where, $V$ is volume of the auditorium, $S$ is the surface area. So, $T_R=\frac{K \cdot V}{\alpha S}=1$ (given)
$T_R=\frac{K \cdot l^{3}}{6 \alpha l^{2}}$
(Assuming auditorium to be cubic in shape)
$=\frac{K}{6 \alpha} l$
So, $T_R \alpha l$
If dimension is doubled, reverberation time $t$ will be doubled. So, New $T_R=2 sec$.
