In vacuum, the speed of light is c= 2.998 x 108m/s. However, the speed generally decreases when light travels through media other than vacuum. Then, the speed is approximately c divided by a quantity called the medium's refractive index (7). In which of the following, would the frequency of 210nm-light be the lowest? (c = 2v) (1) H2, n = 1.0001 (2) CCl4, n = 1.461 (3) H20, n = 1.3330 (4) silicone oil, n = 1.520 (5) diamond, n = 2.419

Light of wavelength 200 nm will have lowest frequency in while traveling through diamond.

Explanation:

Speed of the light in vacuum = c

Relation between speed of light , wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν);

Speed of light in a medium = c' = c/n

...[1]

Where : n = refractive index of a medium

So, the medium with greater value of refractive index lower the speed of light to greater extent.

From [1] , we can see that frequency of light is inversely proportional to the refractive index of the medium :

This means that higher the value of refractive index lower will be the value of frequency of light in that medium or vice-versa.

According to question, light of wavelength 200 nm will have lowest frequency in while traveling through diamond because refractive index of diamond out of the given mediums is greatest.

Increasing order of refractive indices:

Decreasing order of frequency of light 210 nm in these medium :

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
