    A boat has green light of wavelength \[\lambda =500\,nm\] on the mast. What wavelength would be measured and what colour would be observed for this light as seen by a diver submerged in water by the side of the boat? Given, \[{{n}_{w}}=\frac{4}{3}\].

    A) Green of wavelength 376 nm

    B) Red of wavelength 665 nm

    C) Green of wavelength 500 nm

    D) Blue of wavelength 376 nm

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    When light travels from rarer to denser medium its wavelength reduces. Wavelength in water \[=\frac{{{\lambda }_{a}}}{{{\mu }_{w}}}\]     \[=\frac{500}{(4/3)}=375\,nm\approx 376\,nm\](Blue colour)
