Refraction Effects on Wavelength and Phase
Two coherent light waves of wavelength 500 nm in vacuum enter a thin film (n=1.40) at normal incidence. How does refraction affect the wavelength and phase relationship between these waves?
A
Wavelength and phase both change
B
Neither wavelength nor phase is affected
C
Wavelength shortens but phase remains continuous
D
Wavelength remains the same but phase shifts
