What happens when light is refracted into a medium ?
- A Both frequency and wavelength of light increase
- B The wavelength increases and the frequency decreases
- C The wavelength changes but the frequency remains unchanged
- D The wavelength and frequency both remain unchanged
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

In the year 1963 the two enzymes responsible for restricting the growth of bacteriophage in E. coli were isolated. The first restriction endonuclease - Hind II, whose functioning depended on a specific DNA nucleotide sequence was characterized five years later. It was found that Hind II always cut DNA molecules at a particular point by recognizing a specific sequence of six base pairs. This specific base sequence is known as the recognition sequence for Hind II. Besides Hind II, today we know more than 900 restriction enzymes that have been isolated from over 230 strains of bacteria, each of which recognize different recognition sequences.
