For a normal incidence sound wave at the boundary between two media, the pressure reflection coefficient is Rp=fracZ2−Z1Z2+Z1R_p = \\frac{Z_2 - Z_1}{Z_2 + Z_1}Rp​=fracZ2​−Z1​Z2​+Z1​, where Z1,Z2Z_1, Z_2Z1​,Z2​ are the acoustic impedances. If Z1=1.5times106Z_1 = 1.5 \\times 10^6Z1​=1.5times106 kg/(m2^22\cdot s) (water) and Z2=7.8times106Z_2 = 7.8 \\times 10^6Z2​=7.8times106 kg/(m2^22\cdot s) (steel), what percentage of the incident acoustic power is reflected at the boundary?
