True or false for the following: A) Light can be totally internally reflected when it tries to go from a less dense material (smaller n) into a more dense material (larger n). B) The frequency of the light also changes when it travels between different mediums. C) When a light wave travels from a more dense medium (like water) into vacuum (complete lack of matter), the velocity of the light decreases.
