  • We know that, 
    v = 
    Where v is the speed of light, f is the frequency and λ is the wavelength. 
  • When a ray of light enters from air to glass, the speed of light decreases due to the higher refractive index of glass. 
  • Since the frequency of a given colour of light always remains constant, the wavelength of the light must decrease.

Therefore, the wavelength of the light will decrease.
