    A laser beam and a sound wave from directional sources both enter a liquid at an angle of 60^(@) from the horizontal surface of the liquid. The speed of sound in the liquid is 5 times than that of the speed of the sound in air. For light, the refractive index of the liquid is 1.8. What happens ?

    Assertion : The speed of sound in solids is maximum though their density is large. Reason : The coefficient of elasticity of solid is large.
