    News BREXIT - more good than bad or more bad than good?

    Someone will correct me if I am wrong that the density does not have to change within a medium to alter the speed of light. White light shone through a prism (glass) will form a rainbow of colours each colour will have a different frequency than another and will travel at a different speed.
