A green light wave with some frequency f generated by a laser is traveling in a room through the air (n = 1). The wave then enters a piece of glass with n = 1.56. Consider the wave properties frequency, wave speed, and wavelength. For each of the three, determine if it is i. Larger in the glass than in the air Smaller in the glass than in the air ii. iii. The same in both the glass and the air Not enough information to tell iv. For each of the three properties, you must choose one of the four answers, and justify your answer for each with a brief sentence or two.
