The laws of refraction and reflection are the same for sound as for light. The speed of sound in air is 340 m/s and in water it is 1510 m/s. If a sound wave approaches a plane water surface at an angle of incidence of 12.0, what is the angle of refraction?

Question 2

The index of refraction for red light in water is 1.331 and for blue light is 1.340 . If a ray of white light enters the water at an angle of incidence of 83.00, what are the underwater angles of refraction for the blue and red components of the light?

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
