Solution

The correct option is B

is same


The laws of refraction states that when light travels from one medium to another medium, the direction of light wave changes thereby changing the speed of the wave. However, the frequency of light remains unchanged.

This is further strengthened by the understanding of the concept of velocity of light, C=vλ

Where v ,the frequency of light is a constant.
