If frequency (v) of light is 5 10¹⁶ ~Hz and speed of light in air is 3 10^8 ~m / s . Find the ratio of wavelength of light in a medium of refractive index ' 2 ' to air
Options
- A1 2
- B3
- C3 2
- D2
Correct answer
D. 2
Step-by-step solution
v =v , Here, v is same as source of light. aligned & v , v₁ v₂ = ₁ ₂ & But v ₁= c n ₁ , v ₂ (in air) = c n ₂ = c & ₁ ₂ = c / n ₁ c = 1 n ₁ = 1 2 n ₁=2 aligned
