Question

As electromagnetic radiation travels from one material to another its speed is affected. This causes a change in its wavelength. However, the frequency of the radiation will remain constant. In a certain material, the speed of the electromagnetic radiation is slowed to 89% of its maximum value. This decreases the wavelength of the radiation to 155 A. What type of electromagnetic radiation is this (e.g. radio, x-ray, microwave, ect.)? If this falls in the visible light part of the spectrum, what color is it?

Explanation / Answer

this could be green colored light.
