A plane sound wave traveling in the air is incident on a plane's water surface. The angle of incidence is 60°. Asuming snell's law to be valid for sound waves it follows that sound will be refracted into the water away from the normal. Given, the velocity of sound in air=330 m/s and in water =1400m/s.
