    When a ray of light enters a glass slab from air,

    A) its wavelength decreases.

    B) its wavelength increases.

    C) Its frequency decreases.

    D) neither its wavelength nor its frequency changes.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] When the ray enters a glass slab from air, its frequency remains unchanged.  Since glass slab in an optically denser medium, the velocity of light decreases and therefore we can conclude that the wavelength decreases.
