    When monochromatic light travels from one medium to another its wavelength changes but frequency remains the same. Explain.

    A light ray travelling from one medium into another always bends towards the normal.

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

    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 travels from one medium to another, which are separated by a sharp boundary, the characteristic which does not change is
