Refraction is the phenomenon of the change of the direction of the path of light when light passes from one medium to another medium where both mediums have different refractive indexes. This change in direction occurs because of the change in speed of light when it travels from one medium to another, and which in turn decreases it's wavelength.
Therefore during refraction, speed, direction and wavelength of the light changes.
Also, we know that frequency only depends upon the source of the light, and during refraction the source of the light remains the same (refraction occurs only at the boundaries of the media which doesn't affect the source), therefore FREQUENCY DOES NOT CHANGE during refraction.
Option (d) is correct.

Question 11 (2 points) The end of a string is attached to an oscillator with a frequency of 60 Hz, while the other end is attached to a stationary wall. When standing waves were formed on the string, the distance between the third node and the sixth node was measured to be 48 cm. What is the speed of the wave? 38.4 m/s 14.4 m/s 19.2 m/s 28.8 m/s Question 12 (2 points) When light passes between media with different...

An incident coherent light ray strikes the interface between two different media with indices of refraction n1 and n2 (see figure below). Part of the ray gets reflected, and part of the ray gets refracted. Based on the information shown in the figure, which of the following is true? Let v1 and v2 be the speed of light in media 1 and 2, respectively. v1 < v2 v1 = v2 The reflected ray undergoes no phase shift relative to the...

block? ght to illuminate structures 20.14 A diagnostic device uses a bright red laser light to illuminatest just under the surface of the skin. Light from the laser passes first through the air. and then the skin, to scatter off the sub- Fi cutaneous structures that are to be im- aged. The scattered light passes back pl through the skin and into an optical de- vice which forms an image of the scat- tered light on a CCD array. The...

Which of the following choices give a correct relationship between the frequency and the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation? Since more than one choice is correct, points will be deducted for incorrect choices. Select one or more: a. frequency times the speed of light equals the wavelength b. frequency is equal to the speed of light divided by the wavelength c. the wavelength equals frequency divided by the speed of light d. the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency e....
