Question
What can we say about the transmitted sound beam for two adjacent media (specular interface) that have the same sound velocities? The transmitted angle is less than the incident angle The transmitted angle is refracted toward normal incidence The transmitted angle is the same as the incident angle The reflected angle is different than the incident angle
Solution
The transmitted angle is the same as the incident angle. This is because when two adjacent media have the same sound velocities, the sound wave doesn't change its direction when it crosses the boundary (specular interface) between the two media. Therefore, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of transmission.
