In this chapter we studied sound waves. In this paper you will read about how the ear works, how acoustics work and how sound waves are used in real life in medicine and music.

Sound in an ordinary room due to reflections from the walls and furniture somewhat makes the room acoustically modified. For the best qualiity in acoustics rooms need to be designed to produce sufficient reflections for naturalness with bringing in excessive reverbaration no matter whatt the frequency is. Reverbaration time the amount of time required to diminish
