When light is refracted into a medium from vacuum

A: When a narrow pulse of light is sent through a medium, it doesn't retain its shape as it travels through the medium. R: Since the speed of propagation in a medium depends on wavelength , different wavelength components of the pulse travel with different speeds.

The wavelength of light from a given sources is 6000 Å . The wavelength of this light when it travels through a medium of refractive index 1.5 is

When light travels from a rarer medium to a denser medium, it ________

When light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium, what is the effect on its speed? A) Increases B) No change C) Decreases D) Decreases and then increases

Assertion :– As light travels from one medium to another, the speed of light change. Reason :– Speed is the characteristic of medium so it will change.

When a light enters from medium 1 to 2, its speed increases by 20% and when medium 1 to medium 3, its speed decreases by 20% . Consider the situation in the following figure. Find r.
