Determine time for wave to travel by lagrangian multipliers


Response to the following problem:

All the lettered points in Fig.  lie in one plane. The line CD separates the plane into two regions: on the left, a wave has the speed w; and on the right, the speed w. Show by the method of Lagrangian multipliers that the time for the wave to travel the path APB is a minimum when

w/w’ = sin Φ/sin Φ’ .
