Why does the wavelength of light decrease when it passes from vacuum into a medium? State which attributes change and which stay the same and, thus, require the wavelength to decrease.
Show that when light passes from air to water, its wavelength decreases to 0.750 times its original value.
Give an example of a wave characteristic of light that is easily observed outside the laboratory.
What type of experimental evidence indicates that light is a wave?

Suppose you find experimentally that two colors of light, A and B, originally traveling in the same direction in air, are sent through a glass prism, and A changes direction more than B. Which travels more slowly in the prism, A or B? Alternatively, is there insufficient information to determine which moves more slowly?
John William Strutt, Lord Rayleigh (1842-1919), invented an improved foghorn. To warn ships of a coastline, a foghorn should radiate sound in a wide horizontal sheet over die oceans surface. It should not waste energy by broadcasting sound upward or downward. Rayleighs foghorn trumpet is shown in two possible configurations. horizontal and vertical, in Figure CQ38.10. Which is the correct orientation? Decide whether the long dimension of the rectangular opening should be horizontal or vertical and argue for your decision.
A certain kind of glass has an index of refraction of 1.650 for blue light of wavelength 430 nm and an index of 1.615 for red light of wavelength 680 nm. If a beam containing these two colors is incident at an angle of 30.00 on a piece of this glass, what is the angle between the two beams inside the glass?
