Ultrasonic imaging may be used to locate a tumor in an organ such as the liver. The figure shows an ultrasonic beam that travels through a surrounding medium, refracts into the liver, reflects off the tumor, and refracts back into the surrounding medium. If the speed of the ultrasonic beam as it travels through the liver is 11.2 % less than when it is traveling through the surrounding medium, determine the depth of the tumor (in cm). 12.0 cm cm 50.0°!

Austin did a measurement for the speed of light in an experiment. He found that the speed of light is 4.0 x 1018 m/s in air. When Nancy Drew saw his result, she immediately informed him that he made a mistake. How did Nancy know? O Light cannot have a speed. O His result would be correct if the experiment was done under water. O His result would be correct, if the light medium was in vacuum, but not in air. O None of the choices is correct. O Speed of light cannot be greater than 3 x 108 m/s.
