A light wave in air enters a medium of refractive index 4/3 . If the wave number of light in air is 3 xx 10^6 /m, then the wave number of light in the medium is

For sound waves, the Doppler formula for frequency shift differs slightly between the two situations: (i) source at rest observer moving, and (ii)source moving observer at rest.The exact Doppler formulas for the case of light waves in vacuum are, however,strictly identical for these situations.Explain why this should be so.Would you expect the formulas to be strictly identical for the two situations in case of light travelling in a medium?

The observer is moving with velocity 'v_0' towards the stationary source of sound and then after crossing moves away from the source with velocity ' v_0 '. Assume that the medium through which the sound waves travel is at rest, If 'v' is the velocity of sound and 'n' is the frequency emitted by the spurce then the difference between apparent frequencies heard by the observer is
