Problem: Which color of light, red or blue, travels faster in crown glass?a) blue, only if the glass is thinb) bluec) red d) depends on the index of refractione) their speeds are the same

Velocity,

$v = f λ$

$λ = \frac{λ_{0}}{η}$

Frequency is not affected by a change of medium.

Which color of light, red or blue, travels faster in crown glass?

a) blue, only if the glass is thin

b) blue

c) red

d) depends on the index of refraction

e) their speeds are the same
