Light of wavelength $7200 \ \mathring{A}$ in air. It has a wavelength in glass $(\mu = 1.5)$ equal to.......$\mathring{A}$

$A$ beam of light propagating in medium $A$ with index of refraction $n(A)$ passes across an interface into medium $B$ with index of refraction $n(B)$. The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction; $v(A)$ and $v(B)$ denote the speed of light in $A$ and $B$. Then which of the following is true?

$A$ ray of light travelling through glass of refractive index $\sqrt{2}$ is incident on a glass-air boundary at an angle of incidence of $45^{\circ}$. If the refractive index of air is $1$,then the angle of refraction will be: $[\sin 45^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \sin 90^{\circ} = 1]$ (in $^{\circ}$)
