Sound refraction depends on the fact that the speed of sound is
A) proportional to frequency.
B) variable.
C) constant.
D) inversely proportional to wavelength.
E) None of the above choices are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sound refraction occurs because the speed of sound can vary due to changes in the medium's properties (such as temperature, pressure, and density), not because it is inherently proportional or inversely proportional to frequency or wavelength.
