Questions  

An electromagnetic wave of frequency v = 3.0 MHz passes from vacuum into a dielectric medium with relative permittivity εr=4.0. Then

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

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Refractive index =μεμ0ε0Here μ is not specified so we can consider μ=μ0, then Refractive index =εε0=2Hence, speed and wavelength of wave becomes half and frequency remains unchanged.
