Clearly the length of time it takes for sound to die is a function not only of the absorption of the surfaces in a room but also a function of the length of time between interactions with the surfaces of the room. We can use these facts to derive an equation for the reverberation time in a room. The first thing to determine is the average length of time a sound wave will travel between interactions with the surfaces of the room. This can be found from the mean free path of the room, which is a measure of the average distances between surfaces, assuming all possible angles of incidence and position. For an approximately rectangular box, the mean free path is given by the following equation: ...
