Answer:
In air, velocity of light is 3 × 10^8 m/s and wavelength is 6000 A° = 6000 ×10^-10 m
We know that, c = λ × f, f = frequency
3 × 10^8 = 6000 × 10−^10 × f
f = 5 × 10^14 Hz
We know that, refractive index n = velocity of light in vacuum/velocity of light in medium = c/v
Here c = 3 × 10^8 m/s
So, 1.5= 3×10^8/v
⟹ v = 2 × 10^8 m/s
Since frequency does not change when light enters from one medium to other;
v = λf
2 × 10^8 = λ × 5 × 10^14
λ = 4 × 10^−7 m = 4000 A°
