10th Class Science Light - Reflection and Refraction Question Bank Light

  • question_answer
    A beam of monochromatic blue light of wavelength 4200A in air travels in water (retractive index = \[\frac{4}{3}\]). Its wavelength in water will be

    A)  \[\text{28}00\overset{\circ }{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    B)  \[3150\overset{\circ }{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]  

    C)  \[4000\overset{\circ }{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    D)  \[5600\overset{\circ }{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[_{a}{{\mu }_{w}}=\frac{{{\lambda }_{air}}}{{{\lambda }_{water}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{4}{3}=\frac{4200}{{{\lambda }_{water}}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{\lambda }_{water}}=4200\times \frac{3}{4}\]                        \[\mathbf{=3150}\,\,\mathbf{{\AA}}\]
