Solution
A soundboard is a concave board that is placed behind the speaker in large halls or auditoriums so that the speech can be easily heard even by the person sitting at a considerable distance. The soundboard works in the following manner as the speaker is placed at the focus of the concave board. The concave surface of the soundboard reflects the sound of the speaker toward the audience and hence prevents the spreading of sound in various directions. Due to this, sound is distributed uniformly throughout the hall and even the persons sitting at the back of the hall can hear the speech easily.
