Question

The wavelength of light diminishes μ times in the medium. A diver from inside water (μ = 1.33) looks at an object whose natural colour is green. He sees the object as: 

Solution

Correct option is

Blue

We know that on entering water, the wavelength decreases. Hence, the green colour appears blue.
