    in Q10 , both are correct. Frequency remains unchanged but speed changes. Explanation

    speed = wavelength x frequency.

    What happens is that when light changes medium, then frequency remains constant. Most people think that since speed of light is constant, so lambda ( wavelength would change ).

    Actually what happens is both speed and wavelength change, freuqency remains unchanged.

    @arthanariperumal:disqus bro, when light travels from one medium to another – its frequency doesnt change, its speed changed.
