Correct answer: B
-
Given:
- Frequency of incident light:
- Refractive index of medium:
- Speed of light in air (approximately vacuum):
-
Key concept: When light enters another medium, its frequency remains unchanged.
-
Speed of light in the medium:
-
Wavelength in the medium: Using we get
-
Simplify:
-
Convert to nm:
-
Option check:
- A: ❌
- B: ✅
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
Therefore, the correct answer is:
