Question

A plane sound wave in air at 20°C, with wavelength 589 mm, is incident on a smooth surface of water at 25°C at an angle of incidence of 12.4°. (a) Determine the angle of refraction for the sound wave. The wave is moving into a region with a greater wave speed. Do you expect the angle of refraction to be greater than or less than the angle of incidence?° (b) Determine the wavelength of the sound in water. Note that the frequency of the wave in the two regions must be the same (since it is the number of wave cycles that cross the interface each second) m A narrow beam of sodium yellow light, with wavelength 589 nm in vacuum, is incident from air onto a smooth water surface at an angle of incidence of 12.4°. (c) Determine the angle of refraction. ° (d) Determine the wavelength of the light in water. nm (e) Compare and contrast the behavior of the sound and light waves in this problem.
