When a light wave enters into a medium of different refractive
index,
A- only its speed and wavelength change.
B- only its speed and frequency change.
C- only its frequency and wavelength change.
D- its speed, frequency, and wavelength change
A- only its speed and wavelength change.
The frequency remains same as the electric field and magnetic field has to be in the allignment or else they will go out of phase, so only the speed and wavelenght changes.
