Kokkuvõte	Acoustic ray tracing is a computational technique for predicting sound propagation in rooms by treating acoustic energy as rays that reflect specularly off surfaces. Formalized by Allen and Berkley in 1979 via the image source method, ray tracing is one of the most computationally efficient methods for room acoustic simulation, especially for early and mid-reflections. It is widely used in audio engineering, architectural acoustics, and interactive spatial audio for virtual environments.	The Room Impulse Response (RIR) is a measure of how a physical space (room) affects acoustic signals propagating through it. First formalized by Manfred Schroeder in 1965, RIR captures the complete acoustic character of a space by measuring the system response to an impulsive sound source. It is fundamental to characterizing room acoustics, designing audio systems, and modeling spatial audio effects.
