to the left are two examples of a light wave traveling through an unknown medium. which medium is more dense?\nthey are equally dense.\nbottom\ntop
Answer
Brief Explanations:
When light travels through a more dense medium, its wavelength decreases (frequency remains constant, as it is determined by the light source). A shorter wavelength means more wave cycles fit in the same length of medium. Looking at the diagrams, the bottom medium has more wave oscillations (a shorter wavelength) than the top one, so it is the denser medium.
Answer:
Bottom
