A monochromatic beam of light of wavelength `lambda` and frequency `v` goes from vacum to a medium of refractive index n. How do the wavelength and frequency of light change ?

A

wavelength becomes `(lambda)/(n)` and frequency nv

B

wavelength becomes `n lambda` and frequency becomes `(v)/(n)`

C

wavelength and frequency do not change

D

wavelength becomes `(lambda)/(n)` and frequency does not change

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Frequency does not change
`n = (lamda)/(lamda_(m))`.
