Sound waves travel faster through <em>solids</em> than they do through gases or liquids. <em>(C) </em>They don't travel through vacuum at all.
Example:
Speed of sound in normal air . . . around 340 m/s
Speed of sound in water . . . around 1,480 m/s
Speed of sound in iron . . . around 5,120 m/s
We can solve this using Snell's Law which is represented by the equation:
sin θ₁ / sin θ₂ = n₂ / n₁
From the problem, we can substitute values and solve for the angle of refraction.
sin 19 / sin θ₂ = 1.65 / 1
θ₂ = 11.38°
The angle of refraction would be 11.38°.
