To find the wavelength of yellow light in a medium where it is refracted, we can use the relationship between the speed of light, wavelength, and frequency. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Wavelength of yellow light in air, \( \lambda_1 = 0.5 \, \mu m \) (micrometers) - Speed of light in air, \( V_1 = 3 \times 10^8 \, m/s \) - Speed of light in the medium, \( V_2 = 2 \times 10^8 \, m/s \) ### Step 2: Use the relationship between wavelength and speed of light ...
