Question
When a ray of light enters a glass slab from air
Options
A.its wavelength decreases
B.its wavelength increases
C.its frequency increases
D.neither its wavelength not its its frequency changes
Solution

In moving from air to glass, f remains unchanged while v decreases. Hence λ should be decrease.
