A researcher studies corneal refraction by sending a narrow beam of 589-nm light from air into a transparent gel used as a cornea model. The beam bends toward the normal upon entering the gel. The frequency of the light is unchanged across the boundary. Which prediction is most consistent with electromagnetic radiation principles?
