    Monochromatic light of wavelength 589 nm is incident from air on a water surface. The refractive index of water is 1.33. The wavelength of the refracted light is

    A)  589 nm                               

    B)  443 nm

    C)  333 nm                               

    D)  221 nm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     The refractive index of water with respect to air                 \[_{a}{{\mu }_{w}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{w}}}{{{\mu }_{a}}}\]                 \[=\frac{\mu {{\lambda }_{air}}}{v{{\lambda }_{water}}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\lambda \] in water \[=\frac{{{\lambda }_{air}}}{\mu }\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\lambda \] in water \[=\frac{589}{1.33}nm\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\lambda \] in water = 443 nm
