Marks: +1, -0
Monochromatic light of wavelength 600nm is incident from air on a water surface. The refractive index of water is 1.33. Find the (i) wavelength, (ii) frequency and (iii) speed, of reflected and refracted light.
3
Solution:
Given : λ=600nm
μ=1.33
(i) In reflection, the ray will reflect back in the same medium as that of incident ray.
Hence, wavelength (λ)=600nm
frequency =v=cλ=3×108600×10−9
=0.5×1015Hz
speed =3×108ms−1
(ii) In refraction, the speed and wavelength change while frequency remains same.
Hence, speed =v=cμ=3×1081.33
=2.26×108ms−1
wavelength =λ=νv=2.26×1080.5×1015
=4.52×10−7m
=452nm
frequency =v=0.5×1015Hz
