Temperature is just a measure of how HOT or COLD a substance is, which can be easily defined by a magnitude using a numerical value say “300 K” or “27°C”. Hence we can say it is a scalar quantity.
But the energy which transfer by virtue of a temperature difference is a vector quantity, as it has both magnitude and direction of motion (from High temperature to low temperature region).
Oil is optically denser than water. When sound/light goes from optically denser medium to optically rarer medium, their velocity increase and they moves away for normal.
<h3>
<u>Appropriate</u><u> </u><u>Answer</u><u>:</u></h3>
The sound wave speeds up and bends

As, In optics we learnt that light undergoes refraction when travels from medium of different densities. Similarly, Sound also follows the law of refraction.
- It is due to the change of speed of water in different mediums, This makes it speed up or down depending upon the medium and their densities.
