10 Questions
What happens to monochromatic light when it passes through a less dense medium and enters a denser medium?
The advancing waves at the interface are modified and brought closer together
How is refractive index defined?
The ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in a specific medium
What effect is observed when light passes from a denser medium to a less dense medium?
It is refracted away from the interface
What leads to the decrease in speed and shortening of wavelength of light when it passes through a denser medium?
Modification of advancing waves at the interface
What is the relationship between the refractive index and the speed of light in a specific medium?
The refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in a specific medium
What happens to the speed and wavelength of monochromatic light when it passes through a less dense medium and enters a denser medium?
The speed decreases and the wavelength shortens
What is the definition of refractive index?
The ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in a specific medium
What effect is observed when light passes from a denser medium to a less dense medium?
It is refracted away from the interface
What leads to the decrease in speed of light when it travels in a medium other than vacuum?
The atoms of the medium continually absorb and re-emit the particles of light
What is the relationship between the refractive index and the speed of light in a specific medium?
