Sound Combining in
Enclosed Spaces
Question | Answer |
---|---|
sound waves reflect off surfaces... | ...the same way light reflects off of a mirror |
what surfaces will reflect a frequency? | Any surface larger than the wavelength of the given frequency |
How do reflected sounds compare to the original sound? | They are the same (almost) |
What surfaces reflect all frequencies? | very smooth surfaces |
What surfaces scatter higher frequencies? What is the resulting sound? | rough and uneven surfaces. The reflected sound is duller. |
What surfaces don't reflect lower frequencies? What is the resulting sound? | smooth but smaller surfaces. The sound reflection would be lacking in low frequency energy. |
Why is the study of acoustics important? | Because of phase relationships, it's important to understand how surfaces in a room affect recordings made there. |
Multiple sources or reflections will interact to produce spots in the sound field... | ...where you hear increased and decreased loudness. |
Reflections in a room create areas of... | ...increased and decreased pressure. |
