The wavelength of the light which travels from air to water is 436.09 nm

The wavelength of the light in air = 580 nm

The light travels from air to water is

           μ = 4/3

The formula to find the wavelength of the light in the air can be found using the formula

                        ν = c/μ

It can be rewritten as

                        λₙ = λ₀ / μ

where  λₙ is the wavelength of light in water

            λ₀ is the wavelength of light in water

            μ is the relative refractive index

Let us substitute the known values in the above equation, we get

                        λₙ = 580 x 10⁻⁹ / 1.333

                            = 436. 09 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of light in water is 436.09 nm
