Red light of wavelength 750 nm enters a ...

Red light of wavelength `750 nm` enters a glass plate of refractive index `1.5`. If velocity of light in vacuum is `3 xx 10^(8) m//s`, calculate velocity, wavelength and frequency of light in glass.

A

` 2.5xx10^(-6) m`

B

`2.5xx10^(-7) m`

C

`2.5xx10^(-8) m`

D

`2.5xx10^(-9) m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`lambda_a=(V_(a))/(n)=( 3 xx 10^(8))/( 4 xx 10^(14))=7.5 xx 10^(-7) m and lambda_g=(lambda_a)/(1.5)=5 xx 10^(-7)m`
`:. ` Change in wavelength `=2.5 xx 10^(-7)m`
