Determine the speed, wavelength, and frequency of light from a helium-neon laser as it travels through flourite. The wavelength of the light from the laser is 632.8 nm in air and the index of refraction of flourite is 1.434.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Frequency = Speed ÷ wavelength

= (3 × 10^8 )÷ (632.8 × 10^-9)

= 4.74 × 10^14 Hz

Speed in flourite is

= Vaccum speed ÷ refraction index

= 3 × 10^8 ÷ 1.434

= 2.092 × 10^8 m/s

wavelength is

= Speed in flourite ÷ frequency

= (3 × 10^8 × 632.8 × 10^-9) ÷ (1.434 × 3 × 10^8)

= 441.28nm
