Blue light travelling in a vacuum has a wavelength of 450 nm. It enters a medium whose refractive index is 1.5. What is its frequency in the medium?
(Speed of light in vacuum =3×108 m s-1)

  1. A 6.67×1014 Hz
  2. B 1015 Hz
  3. C 4.45×1014 Hz
  4. D 1014 Hz
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 6.67×1014 Hz

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The wavelength of blue light is, λ=450×10-9 m and the refractive index, n=1.5, the relation between refractive index and wavelength, λ1λ2=n2n1⇒450λ2=1.51⇒λ2=300 nm, then the frequency of refracted light is,…
