To find the wavelength of light in water, we can use the relationship between the wavelength in a vacuum and the wavelength in a medium, which is given by the formula: \[ \lambda_{medium} = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n} \] where: - \(\lambda_{medium}\) is the wavelength in the medium (water in this case), ...
