- Its wavelength and frequency both increase
- Its wavelength increases but frequency remains unchanged
- Its wavelength decreases but frequency remains unchanged.
- Its wavelength and frequency both decrease.
Explanation:
Frequency of a light wave, as it travels from one medium to another, always remains unchanged, while wavelength decreases.
Decrease in the wavelength of light entering a medium of refractive index $\mu$, is given by,
$\lambda_\text{M}=\frac{\lambda}{\mu},$
Where $\lambda_\text{M}$ = wavelength in medium
$\lambda$ = wavelength in vacuum
$\mu$ = refractive index
