  14. REVERBERATION TIME • DETERMINE THE REVERBERATION TIME, AT 500 HERTZ, OF A CYLINDRICAL ROOM WITH A DOMED CEILING. • GIVEN: • THE CYLINDER HEIGHT IS 25 FEET. • THE CYLINDER & THE DOME HAVE A DIAMETER OF 50 FEET. • THE FLOOR IS HEAVY CARPET, ON FOAM RUBBER (ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT =0.57). • WALLS ARE COARSE CONCRETE BLOCK (ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT = 0.31) • THE DOMED CEILING IS PLASTER ON LATH (ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT = 0.06).
