Paul Rhodes · Answer 1

Amplitude

Explanation:

The main change occurs in the speed of light when changed from inside to outside prism. Since we knkw that speed is a product of wavelength and velocity, then ultimately these two factors also change.

Speed=wavelength*frequency

From the above, it is only amplitude which will not be affected since it has no relationship with speed, frequency and wavelength. The period of the wave, T will also be affected since period is reciprocal of frequency.
