Question:

It is common knowledge that the visible light spectrum extends approximately from 400 nm to 700 nm. Roughly, 400 nm to 500 nm corresponds to blue light, 500 nm to 550 nm corresponds to green, 550 nm to 600 nm to yellow-orange, and above 600 nm to red. In an experiment, red light with a wavelength of 632.8 nm from a He-Ne laser is refracted into a fish tank filled with water (with index of refraction 1.333). What is the wavelength of the laser light in water, and what color will it have in water?
