To solve the problem, we need to calculate the wavelength, frequency, and speed of the refracted light when monochromatic light of wavelength 500 nm strikes a glass surface with a refractive index (μ) of 1.5. ### Step 1: Calculate the Frequency of the Incident Light The frequency (f) of light can be calculated using the formula: \[ f = \frac{c}{\lambda} \] where: - \( c \) = speed of light in air (approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \) m/s) - \( \lambda \) = wavelength of light in air (500 nm = \( 500 \times 10^{-9} \) m) ...
