A plane wave of sound travelling in air ...

A plane wave of sound travelling in air is incident upon a plane water surface. The angle of incidence is `60@`. Assuming sneill's law to be valid for sound waves, it follows that the sound wave will be refrected into water away from the normal.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
