Refraction, Glass Slab & Apparent Depth

Green light wavelength 5460 Å is incident on an air-glass interface. If the refractive index of glass is 1.5, the wavelength of light in glass would be (c=3×108 m s−1c = 3 \times 10^{8}\text{ m s}^{-1})

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. λg=λairμ\lambda_g = \frac{\lambda_{air}}{\mu}
  2. =54601.5=3640 A˚= \frac{5460}{1.5} = 3640\text{ Å}
  3. So the answer is (a) 3640 Å.
