It is common knowledge that the visible light spectrum extendsapproximately from 400 nm to 700 nm.
In our atmosphere, roughly 400 nm to 500 nm corresponds to bluelight, 500 nm to 550 nm corresponds to green, 550 nm to 600 nm toyellow-orange, and above 600 nm to red.
In an experiment, red light with a wavelength of 615.9 nm from alaser beam is refracted into a fish tank filled with water withindex of refraction 1.333.

a) What is the wavelength of this laser beam in water?

b) What color will this laser beam have in water?
the color of this beam in water will have the same color it has inair: red.
the color of this beam in water will be blue.
