When a ray of light passes from one medium to another,which quantity remains constant?

Frosted glass is widely used for translucent windows. The region where a transparent adhesive tape is stuck over the frosted glass becomes transparent. The most reasonable explanation for this is:

$A$ monochromatic light of frequency $5 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$ travelling through air is incident on a medium of refractive index $2$. What will be the wavelength of the refracted light (in $nm$)?

Figures $(a)$ and $(b)$ show refraction of a ray in air incident at $60^{\circ}$ with the normal to a glass-air and water-air interface,respectively. Predict the angle of refraction in glass when the angle of incidence in water is $45^{\circ}$ with the normal to a water-glass interface [Figure $(c)$].

The optical path of a particular ray of light that has travelled a distance of $3 \ cm$ in flint glass is the same as that of a ray travelling a distance of '$x$' $cm$ through another medium. The value of '$x$' is [refractive index of flint glass $= 1.6$, refractive index of another medium $= 1.25$]. (in $cm$)
