Light of wavelength 500 nm in air enters a glass block with index of refraction n = 1.5. When the light enters the block, which of the following properties of the light will not change?
A. The speed of the light
B. The frequency of the light
C. The wavelength of the light

It will be easier if you get to understand that frequencies are measured in hertz,this means it a function of time from on point to another point.

And that which is not a function of distance do not change change direction or displacement.

Speed of light is a function of distance per time,the distance there is able to displaced on approaching a block,which is a reduction in speed compared to the initial speed.

Wavelength of light is a function of distance,so in this case it can be displaced on a approaching a new medium which is the block.
