Question 1: NCERT Solutions for 12th Class Physics: Chapter 10-Wave Optics
Monochromatic light of wavelength 589 nm is incident from air on a water surface. What are the wavelength, frequency and speed of
(a) reflected, and
(b) refracted light? Refractive index of water is 1.33.
Solution:
(a) In the process of reflection wavelength, frequency and speed of incident light remain unchanged. So, speed of reflected light = speed of incident light
(b) In the process of refraction wavelength and speed changes but the frequency remain the same. Speed of light in water
