Question:
The wavelength of a light wave is \(700 \mathrm{~nm}\) in air; this light appears red. If this wave enters a pool of water, its wavelength becomes \(\lambda_{\text {air }} / n=530 \mathrm{~nm}\). If you were swimming underwater, the light would still appear red. Given this, what property of a wave determines its color?
