Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The speed of light in a medium like glass depends on the wavelength of the light. Red light, having a longer wavelength, travels faster in glass than violet light, which has a shorter wavelength. This is due to the dispersion of light, where different colors of light are refracted by different amounts as they pass through a medium.
