Answer:
C is halved
Explanation:
The frequency and the wavelength of a wave are related by the equation:
where
v is the speed of the wave
f is the frequency
is the wavelength
From the equation above, we see that for a given wave, if the wave is travelling in the same medium (and so, its speed is not changing), then the frequency and the wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.
Therefore, if the frequency doubles, the wavelength will halve in order to keep the speed constant:
The refractive index for glycerine is 
, while for air it is 
.
When the light travels from a medium with greater refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle over which there is no refraction, but all the light is reflected. This critical angle is given by:
where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two mediums. If we susbtitute the refractive index of glycerine and air in the formula, we find the critical angle for this case:
