Sound traveling in limestone enters the top surface of acubical salt dome at an angle of incidence of 35°. After passingthrough the salt dome, the sound leaves the right side and reentersthe limestone. Calculate its final direction in the limestone andshow in a figure the directions of the ray as it enters, passes through, and leaves the salt dome.(Vlimestone=4000 m/s and Vsalt=6000m/s.)
