Question
Why are the ceilings of concert halls curved?
Answer
The ceilings of concert halls are curved so that sound reaches all corners of the hall after reflection.
Reason:
A curved surface reflects sound waves in such a way that they spread evenly throughout the audience, preventing dead spots and ensuring everyone hears clearly. This acts like a concave mirror reflecting light to a focus.
