Application +4 | -1

A plane sound wave passes from medium 1 into medium 2 . The speed of sound in medium 1 is

200 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

and in medium 2 is

100 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

. The ratio of amplitude of the transmitted wave to that of incident wave is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

\frac{2}{3}

Option D (

\frac{2}{3}

) is correct because it is calculated using the formula for the ratio of transmitted wave amplitude to incident wave amplitude based on the speeds of sound in the two media.
