(a) The refractive index of glass is 1.5. What is the speed of light in glass? (Speed of light in vacuum is 3.0 × ) (b) Is the speed of light in glass independent of the colour of light? If not, which of the two colours, red and violet, travels slower in a glass prism?
Solution:
(a) Speed of light in glass, v = = = 2 × (b) Yes, speed of light in glass depends upon the colour of light (i.e., λ). Thus, speed of light is different for red and violet colours. As > , so, < , hence, < Speed of red colour is more than violet colour light in glass
