Photoelectric EffectHard
Question
A photon of light enters a block of glass after travelling through vacuum. The energy of the photon on entering the glass block
Options
A.increases because its associated wavelength decreases
B.Decreases because the speed of the radiation decreases
C.Stays the same because the speed of the radiation and the associated wavelength do not change
D.Stays the same because the frequency of the radiation does not change
Solution
Frequency of light does not change with medium.
