Monochromatic light is refracted from air into glass of refractive index $\mu$. The ratio of the wavelength of incident and refracted waves is

$A$ monochromatic light wave with wavelength $\lambda_1$ and frequency $v_1$ in air enters another medium. If the angle of incidence and angle of refraction at the interface are $45^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ respectively,then the wavelength $\lambda_2$ and frequency $v_2$ of the refracted wave are :

Explain rarer and denser medium.

When light is incident on a medium at an angle $i$ and refracted into a second medium at an angle $r$,the graph of $\sin i$ vs $\sin r$ is as shown. From this,one can conclude that:

When light enters glass from vacuum,then the wavelength of light
