Question
The frequency of a light wave is the same when the light travels in ethyl alcohol or in carbon disulfide. Find the ratio of the wavelength of the light in ethyl alcohol to that in carbon disulfide.
Step 1
The equation is: v = fλ where v is the speed of light in the medium, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength. Show more…
