Short
answer
question:
1. When
people
cannot
hear
someone’s
voice
clearly,
they
usually
put
a
hand
beside
an
ear.
Can
they
hear
more
clearly
by
doing
this?
Answer:
Yes.
It
is
using
sound
wave’s
reflectivity
to
increase
the
ear’s
receptivity.
2. Why
people
always
feel
that
they
are
talking
louder
in
an
empty
room
rather
than
a
normal
room
tough
they
are
using
the
same
voice?
Answer:
Because
in
an
empty
room,
there
are
only
walls,
floor
and
ceiling,
which
can
reflect
the
sound
waves,
and
the
distance
is
not
far,
so
the
original
sound
and
echo
are
received
at
same
time
by
the
ear.
However,
in
a
normal
room,
there
are
sofa,
bed
and
cupboard,
which
cannot
reflect
the
sound
waves
as
strong
as
a
wall
can.
