(impedance is propagation speed x density)
An acoustic wave is traveling from medium X to medium Z. medium X has a
propagation speed of 1,457 m/sec and an impedance of 1.44 MRayls. Medium Z's
propagation speed is 1,644 m/sec and its impedance is 1.26 MRayls. The angle of
incidence is 32 degrees. What is the true angle of reflection?

B. it is equal to 32 degrees
C. it is less than 32 degrees
D. cannot be determined
It is equal to 32 degrees
