I think it is because a part of the light gets reflected when it enters water. Therefore its intensity after refraction is less than the original ray, and hence its amplitude.
Am I right? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanx...

Another logic can be that wavelength of light decreases in water. In order to maintain its time period, it increases its amplitude. But, in that case, I think the intensity should increase. All these logics are coming from my own thought. Therefore, what's the correct reason?
Here's a pic I have made to explain it:

Asmita Chatterjee i knew that the speed of light decreases in water.in that case,the time period is increasing,ryt???plzzz correct me if i hv gone wrong somewhere....

if intensity increases, shouldn't energy increase too..?? N isn't energy constant....???
