When a light ray passes from one medium to another, its frequency remains the same while its wavelength changes. The speed of light varies in different media, causing the wavelength to alter to maintain the constant frequency characteristic of the ...

A mirage is an example of refraction. It occurs when light passes through layers of air at different temperatures, bending the light rays. This bending creates the illusion of water or a distorted image on surfaces like roads or deserts, ...
To a person sitting and hanging in water, their leg appears bent and smaller due to refraction. This occurs because light bends as it travels from water into air, making objects viewed through the water’s surface appear distorted, closer, and ...
The nature of light radiation is similar to both wave and particle. This dual nature, known as wave-particle duality, is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, showing that light exhibits wave-like properties such as interference and diffraction, and particle-like properties ...
The speed of light in descending order is diamond > glass > water. Light travels fastest in diamond, slower in glass, and slowest in water due to differences in their optical densities and molecular structures affecting the speed of light ...
