Practicing Success
When light is refracted into a medium; |
Wavelength and frequency increasess Wavelength increases frequency decreases Wavelength changes, the frequency remains the same Nothing changes |
Wavelength changes, the frequency remains the same |
When light is refracted into a medium its speed changes but the frequency remains the same because the energy associated with a photon of this light is proportional to the frequency of the light and it remains unchanged. Since the wavelength λ = c/, i.e. λ ∝ c. So the wavelength changes. |
