Green light of wavelength 5640 in incident on an airglass interface. If the refractive index of glass is 1.5 what will be the wavelength of light in glass?

Answer»

Solution :wavelength of the LIGHT in air, `lambda_(0)` = 5460 Å
REFRACTIVE index of GLASS with RESPECT to air, `mu = 1.5`
If the wavelength of the light in glass is `lambda`, then
`mu = (lambda_(0))`
`or, "" lambda = (lambda_(0))/(mu) = (5460)/(1.5) = 3640` Å
