Question
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
Larger in the glass than in the air
Smaller in the glass than in the air
The same in both the glass and the air
Not enough information to tell
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.
