What is the effect of change of medium on the wavelength of light ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand the effect of a change of medium on the wavelength of light, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Speed of Light in Different Mediums The speed of light in a vacuum is denoted as \( c \) (approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \) m/s). When light travels through a medium with a refractive index \( \mu \), its speed \( v \) is given by the formula: \[ v = \frac{c}{\mu} \] ...

On entering a denser medium, the wavelength of light

Light of wavelength 4500^(@) in air is incident on a plane boundary between air and another medium at an angle 30^(@) with the plane boundary. As it enters from air into the other medium, it deviates by 15^(@) s towards the normal Find refractive index of the medium and also the wavelength of given light in the medium.
