Which statement is correct? the speed of the light ray is the same in air and medium a. the speed of the light ray is the same in air and medium b. medium a and medium b have different densities because light refracts at different angles. medium a and medium b have the same density because the light ray strikes both at the same angle.

The speed of a light wave is dependent upon the properties of the medium. light travels fastest through a vacuum; slowest through solids. in the case of electromagnetic waves, the speed of the wave depends upon the optical density of that material. the optical density of a medium is not the same as its physical density or the mass/volume ratio. the optical density of a material relates to the sluggish tendency of the atoms of a material to maintain the absorbed energy of an electromagnetic wave in the form of vibrating electrons before reemitting it as a new electromagnetic disturbance. the more optically dense that a material is, the slower that a wave will move through the material. a beam of visible light is passed through a plexiglass container filled with water. if a beam of light comes in at a slight angle, describe the change in the path of the beam of light as it passes through the container, moving in from one side and then out the other.

Very confused! the way in which a wave behaves when it reaches the end of the medium through which it was traveling is often called boundary behavior. the boundary behavior of light waves is best summarized by the following statements: the wavelength is always longest in the least optically dense medium. the frequency of a wave is not altered by crossing a boundary. the amplitude of an original pulse is always greater than the amplitude of a reflected pulse. given the above information, and given that solids generally have greater optical densities than liquids, and that liquids generally have greater optical densities than gases, which of the following statements is true? the number of wavelengths per unit time will change as a light wave moves from a solid into a liquid. the wavelength of a light wave will increase as it moves from a gas into a liquid. the wavelength of a light wave will increase as it moves from a liquid into a solid. the number of wavelengths per unit time will not change as a light wave moves from a solid into a liquid.
