The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the frequency and wavelength of light when it enters a medium with a refractive index of 1.5. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given data**: - Wavelength in air, \( \lambda_0 = 6000 \, \text{Å} = 6000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \) - Refractive index of the medium, \( n = 1.5 \) 2. **Calculate the speed of light in air**: - The speed of light in air (approximately) is \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \). 3. **Calculate the frequency of light in air**: - The frequency \( f \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ f = \frac{c}{\lambda_0} \] - Substituting the values: \[ f = \frac{3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}}{6000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m}} = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{6 \times 10^{-7}} = 5 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \] 4. **Calculate the speed of light in the medium**: - The speed of light in the medium \( v \) is given by: \[ v = \frac{c}{n} \] - Substituting the values: \[ v = \frac{3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}}{1.5} = 2 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \] 5. **Calculate the wavelength in the medium**: - The wavelength \( \lambda \) in the medium can be calculated using the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{v}{f} \] - Substituting the values: \[ \lambda = \frac{2 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}}{5 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz}} = 4 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m} = 4000 \, \text{Å} \] ### Final Answers: - Frequency in the medium: \( 5 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \) - Wavelength in the medium: \( 4000 \, \text{Å} \)

To solve the problem, we need to find the frequency and wavelength of light when it enters a medium with a refractive index of 1.5. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given data**: - Wavelength in air, \( \lambda_0 = 6000 \, \text{Å} = 6000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \) - Refractive index of the medium, \( n = 1.5 \) ...
