JEE Main & Advanced Physics Ray Optics Question Bank Refraction of Light at Plane Surfaces

  • question_answer
    Electromagnetic radiation of frequency n, wavelength \[\lambda \], travelling with velocity v in air, enters a glass slab of refractive index \[\mu \]. The frequency, wavelength and velocity of light in the glass slab will be respectively [CBSE PMT 1997]

    A)            \[\frac{n}{\mu }\,,\,\frac{\lambda }{\mu },\,\frac{v}{\mu }\]           

    B)            \[n,\frac{\lambda }{\mu },\frac{v}{\mu }\]

    C)            \[n\,,\,\lambda \,,\,\frac{\text{v}}{\mu }\]                

    D)            \[\frac{n}{\mu }\,,\,\,\]\[\frac{\lambda }{\mu }\,,\,v\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Frequency does not change with medium but wavelength and velocity decrease with the increase in refractive index.
