The chart shows the speed at which light travels through different media.

A 2 column by 5 row table. Column 1 is titled Medium and contains the following entries: Water, Air, Glass, Diamond. Column 2 is titled Speed of Light (meters per second) and contains the following entries: 2.25 times 10 Superscript 8 baseline, 2.99 times 10 Superscript 8 baseline, 1.97 times 10 Superscript 8 baseline, 1.24 times 10 Superscript 8 baseline.
In which medium would light have the longest wavelength?

water
air
glass
diamond

Air.

Reason: frequency stays the same when light enters a medium, so wavelength = speed/frequency. Air has the highest light speed (2.99×10^8 m/s) so it gives the longest wavelength.
