Though this quantity is not related to rate constants, a lesser known equation for it is known as the Eyring equation. The better known Sabine equation for it assumes room temperature and that waves encounter (*) boundaries one at a time. Cathedrals such as Notre Dame have a high value of around eight seconds for it while a value of around two seconds is desired for general purposes. It is defined as the time it takes for sounds to drop 60 decibels below its original level, which increases with reflective surfaces but decreases with absorbing surfaces. For 10 points, name this quantity which measures the amount of time it takes for echoes to disappear when sound is produced in an enclosed space, such as an auditorium or a concert hall.
