What is Reverberation?
'''Reverberation''' is when [[sound|sound waves]] continue to [[vibrate]] after the original source of the sound has stopped emitting sound. Reverberation can cause [[echo|echoes]]. '''Reverberation time''' is a period when the sound is gone in an enclosed area after the source of the sound has stopped. In the end of 19th century [[Wallace Clement Sabine]] experimented with reverberation time. He determined the relationship between the quality of acoustics, the size of the chamber, and the amount of absorption surfaces present.<ref>{{Cite web|title=NIHF Inductee Wallace Clement Sabine Invented Architectural Acoustics|url=https://www.invent.org/inductees/wallace-clement-sabine|access-date=2021-10-02|website=www.invent.org|language=en}}</ref> [[File:C Chord With Reverb.ogg|thumb|384x384px|Reverb on a guitar]] [[File: Reverberation time diagram.svg|thumb|Sound level in a reverberant cavity excited by a pulse, as a function of time (very simplified diagram)]] == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:Sound]] {{music-stub}}
