$A$ light of wavelength $600 \ nm$ in air enters a medium of refractive index $1.5$. Inside the medium :

If the wavelength of light in air is $4200\, \mathring A$,what will be the wavelength of light in water $(\mu = 4/3)$ in $\mathring A$?

In a medium,the speed of a light wave decreases to $0.2$ times its speed in free space. The ratio of relative permittivity to the refractive index of the medium is $x: 1$. The value of $x$ is $...........$ (Given: speed of light in free space $= 3 \times 10^8 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and for the given medium $\mu_r = 1$)

Light of wavelength $300 \ nm$ in medium $A$ enters into medium $B$ through a plane surface. If the frequency of light is $5 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$ and the ratio of speed in medium $A$ to that in medium $B$ is $\frac{4}{5}$,the absolute refractive index of medium $B$ is:
