Answer:

Frequency

Step-by-step explanation:

When waves travel from one medium to another, it is only the frequency of the wave that remains constant . when a wave is refracted at the boundary between two media, the wave will slow down and its wavelength decreases. The wave usually bends at the interface between the two media. The wavelength and speed of a wave may change at the boundary between two media but its frequency remains the same.

Hence the frequency of light is its only property that remains constant.
