Physics Question on Ray optics and optical instruments
When light passes form one medium to another, there is a change in
A
frequency and velocity
B
frequency and wavelength
C
wavelength and velocity
D
root mean square momentum
Answer
wavelength and velocity
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is(C): wavelength and velocity.
when light passes from one medium to another, there is indeed a change in both wavelength and velocity. These changes are fundamental to the behavior of light as a wave and are governed by the refractive properties of the two media involved. This phenomenon is well-documented and is a key concept in the study of optics and wave propagation. Frequency remains same.
