Physics Question on Refraction of Light

When a ray of light enters a glass slab from air

A

its wavelength decreases

B

its wavelength increases

C

its frequency increases

D

neither its wavelength nor its frequency changes

Answer

its wavelength decreases

Explanation

Solution

λ=vf\lambda=\frac{v}{f}
In moving from air to glass, / remains unchanged while v
decreases. Hence, λ\lambda should decrease.
