Assertion : In reflection from a denser medium, any ray of light suffers a phase difference of pi . Reason : Denser medium is that medium in which speed of wave is less.

The wavelength of light in vacuum is lambda . The wavelength of light in a medium of refractive index n will be

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.
