Then, relative to the laboratory, the velocity of a sound ray propagating, with respect to the fluid, along
the direction defined by the unit vector is
The virtues of the geometric approach are its extreme simplicity and the fact that the basic structure is dimension-independent. Moreover this logic rapidly (and relatively easily) generalises to more complicated physical situations.3
