  1. A Both frequency and wavelength of light increase
  2. B The wavelength increases and the frequency decreases
  3. C The wavelength changes but the frequency remains unchanged
  4. D The wavelength and frequency both remain unchanged
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) The wavelength changes but the frequency remains unchanged

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The frequency of light is determined solely by its source and remains constant when moving between media. Because the speed of light changes in a new medium, the wavelength must also C) The wavelength changes but the frequency remains unchanged
