 A beam of light propagates through a medium 1 and falls onto another medium 2, at an angle α1, as shown in figure. After that, it propagates in medium 2 at an angle α2, as shown. The light's wavelength in medium 1  is λ1 What is the wavelength of light in medium2?
 

a
sin⁡α1sin⁡α2λ1
b
sin⁡α2sin⁡α1λ1
c
cos⁡α1cos⁡α2λ1
d
cos⁡α2cos⁡α1λ1

detailed solution

Correct option is B

μ1sin⁡α=μ2sin⁡α2cv1sin⁡α1=cv2sin⁡α2sin⁡α1fλ1=sin⁡α2fλ2λ2=sin⁡α2sin⁡α1λ1
