Question: Given that a source is at a depth of 1 3 0 0 meters is in the Atlantic Ocean with a bottom depth 5 0

Given that a source is at a depth of 1300 meters is in the Atlantic Ocean with a bottom
depth 5000 m . The sound speed profile is a Munk profile given by
c(z)=c_(1)[1+\epsi (z^(')-1+e^(-z^(')))];z^(')=2(z-z_(1))/(B)
and with the following parameters
z_(1)=1300m
B=1300m
c_(1)=1500(m)/(s)
\epsi =7.37e-3
a. A ray is launched from the source upward to the surface. What is the launch angle
(grazing angle) of the ray that turns at the surface?
(5 points)
b. If a ray tube has an area of 10m^(2) and an intensity of 1(W)/(m^(2)) at one location A , and at
another location B, the same ray tube has an area of 2m^(2). What is the intensity of the ray
tube at location B.
c. In ray theory which of the following best describes the eikonal?
i. the eikonal gives us the amplitude of the ray tube
ii. the gradient of the eikonal provides the propagation direction of the ray
iii. the eikonal provides the image of the ray above the surface
iv. the integral of the eikonal provides the travel time of the ray
