Which travels more slowly in glass, red light or violet light?
Violet...right?
Thanks

The speed of light is dependent on the wavelength of the light. Red light has a longer wavelength compared to violet light, which is why it travels slower in glass.
Yes, the speed of light in glass can be affected by the composition of the glass, temperature, and pressure. These factors can alter the density of the glass, which in turn affects the speed of light.
Not necessarily. The speed of light in a medium depends on the wavelength of the light and the properties of the medium. In some cases, red light can travel faster than violet light in glass.
The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second. In glass, the speed of light is slower, usually around 200,000,000 meters per second.
Yes, the speed of light in glass can be increased by using special materials, such as optical fibers, which can guide and increase the speed of light. Additionally, using certain coatings on the glass can also increase the speed of light.
