Question
Chapter 9.2, Problem 11R
To determine
The wave that speeds up when it passes from air to water as well as one that slows down.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 11R
The wave that speeds up when it passes from air to water is sound wave as well as one that slows down is light wave.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The speed of waves depends on the material medium in which they are travelling.
The wave which speeds up when passes from air to water is sound wave. Sound wave travels slow in air as compared to water, the maximum speed of sound wave is in steel.
The wave which slows down when travel from air to water is light wave. The
Conclusion:
Thus, the speed of sound wave increases when it moves from air to water and the speed of light wave decreases when it travels from air to water.
