I was wondering if someone can clarify the relationship between index of refraction and frequency.
I know that when light is entering into a high index of refraction (say air to glass) that the index is increasing, light bends towards the normal, the speed decreases, and wavelength becomes shorter. But what about frequency, is proportional to the index of refraction (as index increases so does frequency), or is it constant throughout the travel of the light?
Thank You in advance
