Why do we hear more clearly in a room with curtains than in a room without curtains ?

उत्तर
We hear more clearly in a room that is curtained than in a room that is uncurtained because curtains are bad reflectors of sound. They absorb most of the sound falling on them, and hence do not produce echoes. On the other hand, in an uncurtained room, there is a greater reflection of sound and thus echoes are formed. These echoes cause a hindrance to hearing. Therefore, we hear more clearly in a room with curtains than in a room without curtains.
