Answer:
A friend snorkeling just below the surface of the water along the same shore will detect the sound first.
Explanation:
- The speed of sound in water medium is faster than that through the air.
- Sound propagates through the medium by transferring through the molecules on it. Water has more closely packed molecules due to which the speed is faster.
- In fact, the sound's speed in water is almost four times faster than that in the air.
- So the guy in the water surface gets to hear sound faster than the one in sore.
When it comes to optics, Snell's law is the basic formula to be used. If you notice, when light hits the water, the light does not travel in the same direction. After, it hits the water, it changes in angle. Light becomes refracted. This is observed when your hands tend to become bigger if you place it underwater. The formula for Snell's Law is
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂sin θ₂, where n is the index of refraction. This depends on the type of medium. For example, for air, n=1. The parameters θ₁ is the angle of incidence, and θ₂ is the angle of refraction. Critical angle is the incident angle needed so that the refract angle is 90°. So, modifying the equation:
n₁ sin θcrit = n₂sin 90°, since sin 90°=1,
sin θcrit = n₂/n₁
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (n₂/n₁)
Since liquid comes first before glass, n₁=1.75 and n₂=1.52. Substituting,
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (1.52/1.75)
θcrit = 60.29°
