Correct answer: B

Reverberation time is defined as the time during which the intensity of sound in the auditorium becomes one millionth of the initial intensity.

Sabine has shown that standard reverberation time for an auditorium is given by the formula

TR=KVαS{T_R} = K{V \over {\alpha S}}TR​=KαSV​

Here, V is volume of the auditorium, S is the surface area.

∴TR=K.VαS=1 \therefore {T_R} = {{K.V} \over {\alpha S}} = 1∴TR​=αSK.V​=1 (given)

⇒TR=K.l36αl2=K6αl \Rightarrow {T_R} = {{K.{l^3}} \over {6\alpha {l^2}}} = {K \over {6\alpha }}l⇒TR​=6αl2K.l3​=6αK​l TR=K.l36αl2=K6αl{T_R} = {{K.{l^3}} \over {6\alpha {l^2}}} = {K \over {6\alpha }}lTR​=6αl2K.l3​=6αK​l
(Assuming auditorium to be cubic in shape)

∴TR∝l \therefore {T_R} \propto l∴TR​∝l

If dimension is doubled, reverberation time t will be doubled.
So, New TR = 2 sec.
