   ocr: The acoustic wuves are bounded on top bya huge drop in density neor the surrace. And - on the bot- tom of the cavity, the ray paths are bent as the sound speed in- creases with depth. Why? As the speed of sound increases - with - temperature, which in the Sun, increases with depth, the wave's inner edge travels faster than its outer edge, causing iff to bend to- wards the surface.
