Assertion: When a light wave travels from a rarer to a denser medium, it loses speed. The reduction in speed imply a reduction in energy carried by the light wave. Reason: The energy of a wave is proportional to velocity of wave.

A : When a light wave travels from a rarer to a denser medium, it looses speed. The reduction in speed imply a reduction in energy carried by the light wave. R : The energy of a wave of proportional to frequency of wave.

In the figure, you can see a light ray travelling from air to glass. Why is there no refraction?

The angle of incidence is always smaller than angle of refraction when a ray travels from air to glass. ______

When a ray of light passes from air to glass, for what angle of incidence, the ray will not be deviated?

A: When light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, it loses some speed but it doesn't imply a reduction in the energy carried by the light wave. R: Energy carried by a wave depends on the amplitude of the wave and not on the speed of wave propagation.

When a wave travels from a denser to rarer medium, then

As the ray of light passes from air to glass , state how the wavelength of light changes does it increase , decrease or remain constant ?
