A plane wave of sound traveling in air is incident upon a plane surface of a liquid. The angle of incidence is $60^o.$ The speed of sound in air is $300 \,m /s$ and in the liquid it is $600\, m /s .$ Assume Snell’s law to be valid for sound waves.
  • A
    The wave will refract into liquid away from normal
  • B
    The wave refract into liquid towards the normal
  • C
    The wave will reflect back into air
  • D
    none of these
