Sound waves speed up when they enter water. In air, the speed is about 330 m s-1, but in water the sound waves travel at about 1500 m s-1. Explain whether total internal reflection will occur when sound travels from air into water and from water into air.  Explain how this affects how well you can hear sounds above the surface of the water if you are under the surface.
