Answer:
the sound wave slows down and bends
Explanation:
a p e x
Oil is optically denser than water. When sound/light goes from optically denser medium to optically rarer medium, their velocity increase and they moves away for normal.
Appropriate Answer:
The sound wave speeds up and bends
As, In optics we learnt that light undergoes refraction when travels from medium of different densities. Similarly, Sound also follows the law of refraction.
