Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

A ray of light travelling in air has wavelength λ, frequency n, velocity v and intensity I. If this ray enters into water then these parameter are λ', n', v' and I' respectively. Which relation is correct

A

λ = λ'

B

n = n'

C

v = v'

D

I = I'

Correct Answer
