Answer:

(a) 8.57 x 10^8 Hz

(b) 23.3 cm

Explanation:

Wavelength = 35 cm = 0.35 m

speed =3 x10^8 m/s

Let the frequency is f.

(a) The relation is

speed  = frequency x wavelength

3 x 10^8 = 0.35 x f

f = 8.57 x 10^8 Hz

(b) refractive index of glass  is 1.5

The relation for the refractive index and the wavelength is

wavelength in glass= wavelength in air/ refractive index.

Wavelength in glass= 35/1.5 = 23.3 cm
