Light has wavelength 600 nm in a vacuum. it passes into glass, which has an index of refraction of 1.5. what is the frequency of the light inside the glass

Respuesta :

v = f lambda

in vac ... 3X10^8 = 600x10^-9xf

in glass speed slower, poss 2/3 that of vacuum

Light has wavelength 600 nm in a vacuum ,the frequency of the light is 2 ×[tex]10^{-13}[/tex] Hz.

What is wavelength?

The separation between such a wave motion's crests and troughs would be known as the wavelength of photons.

What is frequency ?

The total number of waves that pass a specific location in a predetermined amount of time is known as frequency.

Calculation of frequency

Given data:

wavelength = 600 nm = 600 × [tex]10^{-9}[/tex]m

index of refraction = 1.5.

Frequency can be calculated by using the formula:

v = f × wavelength

f =  wavelength / v

Where, f = Frequency , v is velocity.

put the given data in above equation.

f =  wavelength / v

f = 600 × [tex]10^{-9}[/tex]m / 3 × [tex]10^{8}[/tex]

f = 200 × [tex]10^{-15}[/tex].

f = 2 ×[tex]10^{-13}[/tex]

Therefore, the frequency of the light is 2 ×[tex]10^{-13}[/tex] Hz.
