  1. An electromagnetic radiation of frequency n, wavelength λ, travelling with velocity v in air enters in a glass slab of refractive index (µ). The frequency, wavelength and velocity of light in the glass slab will be respectively
    1. n ,
      λ
      and
      v
      μμ
    2. n , 2λ and
      v
      μ
    3. n
      ,
      λ
      and
      v
      μμμ
    4. ,
      λ
      and v
      μμ
Correct Option: A

When electromagnetic wave enters in other medium, frequency reamains unchanged while  wavelength and

velocity become
1
times.
μ

So, For e.m. wave entering from air to glass slab (µ), frequency remains n,
​wavelength, λ' =
λ
μ

and velocity, v' =
v
μ
