When light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, does the reduction in speed imply a reduction in the energy carried by the light wave?

Options

  1. AYes, a decrease in speed implies a reduction in energy.
  2. BNo, the speed of wave propagation does not affect the energy carried.
  3. CYes, the energy carried is directly proportional to the speed.
  4. DNo, the energy carried depends on the wavelength of the wave.

Correct answer

B. No, the speed of wave propagation does not affect the energy carried.

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (B)
No, the speed of wave propagation does not affect the energy carried.
