$A$ beam of light is propagating at an angle $\alpha_1$ from medium $1$ into medium $2$ at an angle $\alpha_2$. If the wavelength of light in medium $1$ is $\lambda_1$,then the wavelength of light in medium $2$,$\lambda_2$,is:

  • A
    $\frac{\sin \alpha_2}{\sin \alpha_1} \lambda_1$
  • B
    $\frac{\sin \alpha_1}{\sin \alpha_2} \lambda_2$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{\alpha_1}{\alpha_2}\right) \lambda_1$
  • D
    $\lambda_1$
