A monochromatic light wave is incident normally on a glass slab of thickness , as shown in the figure. The refractive index of the slab increases linearly from to over the height . Which of the following statement(s) is(are) true about the light wave emerging out of the slab?
- Main 2022PhysicsSingle correct
For a specific wavelength 670 nm of light coming from a galaxy moving with velocity , the observed wavelength is 670.7 nm. The value of is :
