When a ray of light enters a glass slab from air

Wavelength increases

Wavelength decreases

Frequency increases

Frequency decreases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

When a light ray enters from air to glass its frequency remains unchanged, velocity (in denser medium) decreases, so wavelength `lamda=(upsilon)/(n)` decreases.
