    Electromagnetic radiation of frequency n, velocity v and wavelength \[\lambda \], in air, enters a glass slab of refractive index \[\mu \]. The frequency, wavelength and velocity of light in the glass slab will be, respectively:

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

    B)  \[n,\lambda \frac{v}{\mu }\]

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

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

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    When electromagnetic wave enters in other medium, frequency remains unchanged while wavelength and velocity become \[\frac{1}{\mu }\] times. So, after entering from air to glass slab \[(\mu )\], frequency remains n, wavelength \[\lambda =\frac{\lambda }{\mu }\] and velocity of light in medium \[v=\frac{v}{\mu }.\].
