What will be the change in frequency of light when it undergoes- 1)Reflection , 2) Refraction

Solution

Dear Student,

There is no change in frequency of light upon: Reflection as well as Refraction.

In Reflection, there is no change in velocity whereas due to refraction, change of medium takes place due to which velocity changes. However, no change in frequency takes place in both the cases.
