Textbook Question
Chapter 9.3, Problem 3aT
Each of the diagrams at right shows a ray incident on a boundary between two media.
Continue each of the rays into the second medium. Using a dashed line, also draw the path that the wave would have taken had it continued without bending.
Does the ray representing a wave “bend” toward or away from the normal when:
• the wave speed is smaller in the second medium?
• the wave speed is larger in the second medium?
