The wavelength of light is 589 nm. What is its wavelength in Å ?

A

9372 Å

B

7932 Å

C

7548 Å

D

3927 Å

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

(d) Given, wavelength in vaccum = 5890 Å
In a medium of refractive index, the wavelength of light decreases to `lamda/mu = 5890/1.5=3927 Å`
