Electromagnetic radiation of frequency n...

Electromagnetic radiation of frequency `n`, wavelength `lambda`, travelling with velocity v in air, enters a glass slab of refractive index `mu`. The frequency, wavelength and velocity of light in the glass slab will be respectively

A

`(n)/(mu),(lambda)/(mu) and (v)/(mu)`

B

`n,(lambda)/(mu) and (v)/(mu)`

C

`n, 2lambda and(v)/(mu)`

D

`(2n)/(mu),(lambda)/(mu) and v`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

We know that frequency of electromagnetic radiation remains the same when it changes the medium.
`mu=("wavelength of light in vacuum")/("wavelength of light in medium")=(lambda_(v))/(lambda_(m))`
`lambda_(m)=(lambda_(v))/(mu)=(lambda)/(mu)`
`"Similarly, "mu=("velocity of light in vacuum")/("velocity of light in medium")`
