Question

During the refraction of light, the frequency of light remains constant. Explain the reason.

Answer 1

1. When light passes from one medium to another medium and changes its path then the phenomenon is known as the refraction of light.
2. Frequency is defined as a number of vibrations or waves that passes about a fixed point per unit time.
3. $f=\frac{1}{T}$ where $T$ denotes the time period.
4. During the refraction of light, the frequency of light remains constant because the frequency is characteristic of the source of light.
