Lab section: Tuesdays, 6:15 - 7:45 pm
Experiment 6
REVERBERATION TIME
This laboratory was conducted with the purpose to understand how to calculate the reverberation
time for a room. The reverberation time for a show room is being calculated and analyzed in this
experiment. There are no objects being used to do the experiment, the lab consists of using
formulas provided in order to obtain data and test the theory, a lot of mathematical processes were
used for the lab. The experiment was conducted with classmates and the data was collected
through a series of calculations using formulas. After recording the measurements using the
formulas provided other additional questions were answered to test the theory.
THEORY
Reverberation is the combined effect of multiple sound reflections in a room
which result to a gradual decay of the sound heard by the listener after the
source of sound stops.
In order to deal with this effect in a quantitative way, the concept of
reverberation time T
R
is used.
T
R
is defined to be the time it takes for the sound to
drop by 60dB from its steady state value after the sound is turned off. The
reverberation time depends on the size and shape of the room as well as its
contents.
A rather simple, approximate formula for the reverberation time in second

(If the areas and volumes are measured in meters rather than feet, the
coefficient 0.05 is replaced by 0.161 in the formula for
T
R
.)
Attached is a table of sound absorption coefficients for some common
materials found in studios or concert halls. Note that the absorption coefficients
are frequency dependent.
PROCEDURE
Calculate the reverberation time for the room shown below. The ceiling is
made of acoustical boards. The long side walls are made of brick and there are
20 windows overall, each of size 3ft
×
6ft. The entrance wall has a glass door of
size 12ft
×
7ft. The rest of the entrance wall as well as the back wall are also
made of brick. The room also contains 400 upholstered seats.
Calculate the reverberation time for this hall for f=1000 Hz, when
all the
seats are occupied

Scientists can determine the age of ancient objects by a method called radiocarbondating. The bombardment of the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays converts bitrogen toa radioactive isotope of carbon, C-14, with a half-life of about 5730 years. Vegetationabsorbs carbon dioxide through the atmosphere and animal life assimilates C-14 throughfood chains. When a plant or animal dies it stops replacing its carbon and the amount ofC-14 begins to decrease through radioactive decay. Therefore, the level of radioactivitymust also exponentially decay. A parchment fragment was discovered that had about74% as much C-14 radioactivity as does plant material on the earth today. Estimate theage of the parchment.

Scientists can determine the age of ancient objects by the method of radiocarbon dating. The bombardment of the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays converts nitrogen to a radioactive isotope of
carbon, 14C, with a half-life of about 5,730 years. Vegetation absorbs carbon dioxide through the atmosphere, and animal life assimilates 14C through food chains. When a plant or animal dies, it stops
replacing its carbon, and the amount of 14C present begins to decrease through radioactive decay. Therefore, the level of radioactivity must also decay exponentially.

Dinosaur fossils are often dated by using an element other than carbon, like potassium-40, that has a longer half-life (in this case, approximately 1.25 billion years). Suppose the minimum detectable mass is 0.4% and a dinosaur is dated with 40K to be 67 million years old. Is such a dating possible?
