A jet flies over the ocean. A sound wave travels from the jet to the surface of the ocean. Almost none of the energy from the so
und passes into the water. The diagram below illustrates the path of the sound wave. Which of the following statements about this scenario is true?
A.
The sound wave's direction, speed, and wavelength change.
B.
The sound wave's direction and wavelength change, but its speed remains the same.
C.
The sound wave's direction changes, but its speed and wavelength remain the same.
D.
The sound wave's direction and speed change, but its wavelength remains the same.
It is important to collect all data first, or else your guesses could purely be the opposite of the right answer. If you make inferences of what might happen, your guesses may be purely fictional, and totally off-topic. During experiments, this step is important.
