A monochromatic light wave with wavelength and frequency in air enters another medium. If the angle of incidence and angle of refraction at the interface are and respectively, then the wavelength and frequency of the refracted wave are:
A monochromatic light wave with wavelength and frequency in air enters another medium. If the angle of incidence and angle of refraction at the interface are and respectively, then the wavelength and frequency of the refracted wave are:
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
By using Snell's law, , the refractive index is
Also using the relation where is the refractive index, is the velocity of light in air and is the velocity in the medium
The velocities are given by
and .
The frequency of light does not change when the medium changes.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
