A light beam entering an acrylic block.
A light beam entering an acrylic block.
A beam of monochromatic light travels through a vacuum with frequency \(f_0\) and wavelength \(\lambda_0\). The light beam then enters a large block of clear acrylic with an index of refraction \(n = 1.50\) at normal incidence. Which of the following correctly compares the frequency \(f\) and wavelength \(\lambda\) of the light inside the acrylic block to its original values in the vacuum?
