Reverberations in a big hall or auditorium can be reduced by the following methods:
  1. Panels made of sound absorbing materials are put on the walls and ceilings of hall and auditorium.
  2. Carpets are put on the floor to absorb sound and reduce reverberations.
  3. Heavy curtains are put on doors and windows to absorb sound and reduce reverberations.
  4. The seats in the hall are made from materials having sound absorbing properties.

    Three different vibrating objects produce three types of sounds $X$, $Y$ and $Z$. Sounds $X$ and $Y$ cannot be heard by a man having normal range of hearing but sound $Z$ can be heard easily. The sound $X$ is used in hospitals to break kidney stones of a patient into fine grains whioch then get flushed out with urine. The sound $Y$ is similar to that which is produced during an earthquake before the main shock wave is generated.
    1. What t$Y$pe of sounds are $(i) X, (ii) Y$, and $(iii) Z$?
    2. Name one device which can produce sound like $X$.
    3. Name one device in a science laboratory which can produce sound like $Y$.

    5. What is the frequency range of sounds like $Z$?

    A sound producing body is at considerable distance from a man. There can be four different media $W, X, Y$ and $Z$ between the sound producing body and the man. The medium $X$ brings the sound to man most quickly whereas medium $Z$ takes the maximum time. The time taken by medium $W$ in bringing sound to man is less than that of $X$ but more than that of $Z.$ The medium $Y,$ however, fails to bring the sound from the sound producing body to the man. Which medium could be the one:
    1. Having no fixed shape and no fixed volume$?$
    2. Having a fixed volume but no fixed shape$?$
    3. Having the same composition as that on the moon$?$
    4. Having a fixed shape and a fixed volume$?$
