Wavelength of light in vaccum is 5890 Å, then its wavelength in glass (`mu=1.5`) will be

A

`9372 Å`

B

`7932 Å`

C

`7548 Å`

D

`3927 Å`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given, wavelength in vacuum = `5890 Å`
In a medium of refractive index, the wavelength of light decreases to `(lambda)/(mu)=(5890)/(1.5)=3927 Å`
