For hearing the loudest ticking sound heard by the ear, find the angle x in the Fig.12.4.

Similar to light, sound also follows law of reflection.

If I sound is coming at an incident angle of \angle i then it will go at the same reflection angle \angle i=\angle r.

In the given question, sound coming through the first pipe has angle of incidence equal to 40° that can be calculated as (90° - 50°)

The same sound will be reflected at an angle of 40°. Therefore, the second pipe has to be kept at the angle of 40° from normal.

Therefore the value of x will be 40°.
