In a vacuum, there is a one-to-one correspondence between light frequency (ν) and wavelength (λ), ie. λ=c/ν. But in a refractive medium, λ=v/ν, so while the frequency may remain constant, the wavelength may not.
I've seen that in biology, wavelength is mostly used. But, I recall reading that human vision is sensitive to frequency. So, is human vision sensitive to wavelength or frequency?
