A sound wave of frequency \(500\ \text{Hz}\) travels in air, where its speed is \(340\ \text{m s}^{-1}\), and strikes the boundary with a second medium at an angle of incidence \(30^{\circ}\) to the normal. The wave is refracted into the second medium at an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) to the normal. (a) Calculate the speed of sound in the second medium. (b) Determine the wavelength of the sound in that medium.
