Sonic air is expanded until it reaches \( M = 1.5 \). Through what angle has it turned?

  • A.41.8 degrees
  • B.14.5 degrees
  • C.11.9 degrees
  • D.26.4 degrees

Answer: C

Starting from Mach one, where the function is zero, the turning needed is just \( \nu(1.5) = 11.90 \) degrees. The distractor 41.8 degrees is the Mach angle at that speed, a quantity often confused with the Prandtl-Meyer function because both are angles attached to the same Mach number.
