A light wave of frequency 5 x 1014Hz moves through water which has a refractive index of 43. Calculate the wavelength in water if the velocity of light in air is 3 x 108ms-1

A.

4.5 x 10-7m

B.

6.0 x 10-7m

C.

1.7 x 106m

D.

2.2 x 106m

Correct answer is A

14 = 3×10v

v = 2.25 x 108ms-1

λ = VF

= 2.25×1085×1014

λ = 0.45 x 10-6m
