The wavelength of light in a medium is \[\lambda = \lambda_0 /\mu,\] where \[\lambda \] is the wavelength in vacuum. A beam of red light \[\left( \lambda_0 = 720\text{ nm} \right)\] enters water. The wavelength in water is \[\lambda = \lambda_0 /\mu = 540\text{ nm.}\] To a person under water, does this light appear green?
