Question
If the propagation speed of Medium 1 is less than the propagation velocity of Medium 2, the transmitted sound beam angle at the interface will: equal the incident beam angle refract towards normal incidence refract away from normal incidence
Solution
The transmitted sound beam angle at the interface will refract towards normal incidence. This is because when a wave passes from a medium with a slower propagation speed to a medium with a faster propagation speed, it bends towards the normal (the line perpendicular to the interface between the two media). This is a fundamental principle of wave behavior known as Snell's Law.
