On a rainy summer day you observe a bright rainbow. Select True or False for the statements.When a ray of light enters a drop of water, the frequency of the light remains the same.The speed of light in a raindrop is less than the speed in air.When a ray of light exits a drop of water, the frequency of the light decreases.When a ray of light enters a drop of water, the wavelength of the light remains the same.When a ray of light enters a drop of water, the wavelength of the light decreases.
Hello - Here are the basics - then below are the answers. ******* When a beam of light crosses the boundary between a vacuum and another medium, or between two different media, the wavelength of the light changes, but the frequency remains constant. If the beam of light is not orthogonal (or rather normal) to the boundary, the change in wavelength results in a change in the direction of the beam. This change of direction is known as refraction. ******** When a ray of light enters a drop of water, the frequency of the light remains the same. TRUE The speed of light in a raindrop is less than the speed in air. TRUE When a ray of light exits a drop of water, the frequency of the light decreases.FALSE When a ray of light enters a drop of water, the wavelength of the light remains the same.FALSE - it decreases When a ray of light enters a drop of water, the wavelength of the light decreases. TRUE Hope this helps Bill
the linked fee of light c = 3.0 x 10^8 meters in line with 2nd in a vacuum. In water the linked fee of light is c/a million.3 = 2.31 x 10^8 meters in line with 2nd c/a million.3 =f*? ? = 2.31 x10^8/5.2 x 10^14 = 4.44x 10^-7 meters
When light passes from one median to another the frequency doesn't change cuz
