When a plane wave propagates in a dielectric medium, the wavelength in the medium increases as compared to free space.
True or False?
The frequency of the wave is independent of the medium it travels and only depends on the source. And we know that
Wavelength * frequency = speed
The speed of the wave is highest in the free space. So the speed of the wave in dielectric is lower and using the above relationship, we can conclude that the wavelength in dielectric will be lower than the free space. So the above statement is FALSE.
