Question

What is the change ln wavelength & velocity when light travells phically rarer to denser medium?

Open in App

Solution

The velocity can be written an
V=f λ .
the velocity decreases when the light travel from rarer to denser medium.frequency is a constant then the wavelength also decreases(wavelength and velocity is directly proportional).
