What is the difference between an echo and a reverberation ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

An echo is formed when sound reflected due to strong reflection comes back after an interval of `0.1 s` or more. In an echo, the original and reflected sounds are heard separately. Reverberation, on the other hand, consists of successive reflections which follow each other so quickly that these cannot produce separate echoes.
