When white light consisting of wavelengths ranging from 400 nm to 700 nm passes through water (μ = 4/3), then the wavelength range in water will be: |
300 nm - 525 nm 500 nm - 700 nm 700 nm - 850 nm 450 Å - 750 Å |
300 nm - 525 nm |
The correct answer is Option (1) → 300 nm - 525 nm Wavelength in a medium: $\lambda_\text{medium} = \frac{\lambda_\text{vacuum}}{\mu}$ Given $\mu = \frac{4}{3}$, white light range: 400 nm to 700 nm In water: Minimum wavelength: $\lambda_\text{min} = \frac{400}{4/3} = 300\ \text{nm}$ Maximum wavelength: $\lambda_\text{max} = \frac{700}{4/3} = 525\ \text{nm}$ Final Answer: Wavelength range in water = 300 nm to 525 nm |
