Which of the following happens when a ray of light enters into a water filled glass beaker from air?

  1. A wavelength of light increases
  2. B frequency of light increases
  3. C wavelength of light decreases
  4. D neither frequency nor wavelength changes
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) wavelength of light decreases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When light enters a denser medium (like water from air), its speed decreases. Since the frequency remains constant (it only depends on the source), the wavelength must decrease to satisfy the equation \(v=f \lambda\). C) wavelength of light decreases.
