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 snell's law to be valid for sound waves, it follows that the sound wave will be refracted into water away from the normal.

To solve the problem of a plane wave of sound traveling in air incident upon a plane water surface at an angle of incidence of \(60^\circ\), we will apply Snell's Law, which states: \[ \frac{\sin \theta_1}{\sin \theta_2} = \frac{v_1}{v_2} \] where: - \(\theta_1\) is the angle of incidence (in air), ...
