What is the cause of refraction of a wave traveling from one medium to another?
There is a change in wave amplitude due to the change in the medium.
There is a speed change due to the change in the medium.
None of the above are associated with refraction.
There is a frequency change due to the change in the medium
Refractive index of a medium is defined as the ratio of velocity of light in a medium to the velocity of light in that medium.
Mu has a value that is always greater than 1 because c<v always.
Hence, we see that when light enters from one medium to another its velocity changes.
Wavelength and frequency for a particular color of light does not change during refraction.
Therefore, change in speed is the cause of refraction.
The 2nd option is correct.
