Answer:

The wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of light, [tex]\lambda=284\ nm[/tex]

The refractive index of glass, n = 1.51

We need to find the wavelength in vacuum. The relation between wavelength and refractive index is given by :

[tex]n=\dfrac{\lambda_v}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda_v=n\times \lambda\\\\\lambda_v=1.51\times 284\\\\\lambda_v=428.8\ nm[/tex]

So, the wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.
