Optics Question 319

Question: An electromagnetic wave of frequency ν=3.0MHz passes from vacuum into a dielectric medium with permitivity ε=4.0 . Then

[AIEEE 2004]

Options:

A) Wavelength is doubled and the frequency remains unchanged

B) Wavelength is doubled and frequency becomes half

C) Wavelength is halved and frequency remains unchanged

D) Wavelength and frequency both remain unchanged

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Refractive index =μεμ0ε0 Here m is not specified so we can consider m = m0 then refractive index =εε0=2 \Speed and wavelength of wave becomes half and frequency remain unchanged.
