When light moves from one medium to another (i) the frequency of light remains same and wavelength changes (ii) refractive index of a medium is the ratio of speed of light in vacuum and speed of light in medium (iii) refractive index of a medium is the ratio of wavelength of light in vacuum and wavelength in medium (iv) for denser medium, the value of refractive index is larger

When light passes from one medium into another medium, then the physical property which does not change is:
