Monochromatic light of wvalength 589 nm ...

Monochromatic light of wvalength `589 nm` is incident from air on a water surface. What are the wavelength, frequency and speed of (a) reflected and (b) refracted light ? `mu` of water is 1.33`.

A

589 nm

B

443 nm

C

333 nm

D

221 nm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Since, `lambda prop (1)/(n) `
`rArr " " lambda (" in water") = (589)/(1.33) = 443` nm.
