Reflection and refraction are same for sound and for light

Reference no: EM13667189

The laws of reflection and refraction are the same for sound and for light. The speed of sound is 340 m/s in air and 1510 m/s in water. If a sound wave that is traveling in air approaches a flat water surface by an angle of incidence of 10.3°, what is the angle of refraction?
