A cold distance planet has an atmosphere of hydrogen (speed of sound = 1320 m/s) over a liquid ocean of carbon dioxide (speed of sound = 259 m/s). A sudden shift in the rocky crust beneath the ocean creates a sound wave that heads toward the surface at an angle of 7 degrees. At the surface, the wave is refracted with a refraction angle of . . . Group of answer choices 49 degrees. 38 degrees. The wave undergoes total internal reflection. 80 degrees.
