A light wave travels from air into a medium of refractive index 1.54. If the wavelength of the light in air is 5.9×107m, calculate its wavelength in the medium
A
2.5×107m
B
3.8×107m
C
4.6×107m
D
5.2×107m
correct option: b

n =(\frac{wavelength, in, air}{wavelength, in ,medium}= \frac{5.9\times10^{-7}}{1.54}= 3.8\times10^{-7})m
