Question
Which colour of light has.
- Minimum speed in glass?
- Minimum frequency?
✓
Answer
- Violet light has the shortest wavelength and is bent the most. Thus violet light travels more slowly through glass than does any other color and red light travels fastest.
- Red light has maximum wavelength and violet has minimum wavelength. As the frequency and wavelength of a wave are inversely proportional to each other so, red light has minimum frequency and violet light has maximum frequency.
