PROBLEM 1 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 13.08º. Determine: (a) The angle of refraction for the sound wave. (b) The wavelength of the sound in water. 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 13.0°. (c) The angle of refraction. (d) The wavelength of the light in water. (e) Compare and contrast the behavior of the sound and light waves in this problem.
